Power

It draws all as all are drawn to power

It consumes all.

Violent, but tender

It draws all

As all are drawn to power.

They gamble life

For but a taste

But even the strongest

Yield in the end

As all must cease to be.

For what is stronger

than solid rock,

And even stone yields,

and changes.

Its dance between

transformed and the steadfast.

There is a reason

the lighthouse stands,

tied to the border,

of safety and the unpredicted

nature poetry
