Abrasion Tide

We're ensnared by the fate if persistence

As the forces of nature interact

To weather slope and mountain, close and by distance

Creating expanding ventifacts

Running water conducts the erosion

Leading grains of sand in the grind

Empowered by wind, time, and oceans

To wear down soil's rind

A tide that changes primary plains

Even principles positions

A flood that runs untimely through the elements and our veins

Shifting our focus and our definitions

New perspective from a vaster reflection

Thoughts flow like water from a hillock

That's repeatedly rinsed, achieving friction

Releasing knowledge of the rock

An archaic course across the outer core

Seasons transform while remodeling the Solum

Above the altering scenery stars soar

Watching the drama like diffuse phantoms

The land is disintegrated by a power that was ice bound

At the same time fertilized

As our forefather's feet touched a ground

That nature constantly has revised
