life side (yes another)

the waves launched their assault on the beach
to the sound of war drums filling the air
and crashing voices screaming to their stop.
flashes streaked the midnight sky
to shine brief light on the battle below.
the soft sand gave way to the will of the water,
bowing down to its supreme crown:
demanding and unforgiving.
the sacred blood of the earth was spilled,
and scars cut deep into the land.
a fortress of will keeping strong
to hold the onslaught at bay,
one that never sleeps, never slows, never fades away.
the continuing battle of time...
the tide rolls out, only to return again.
Between the conception and the creation

Between the emotion and the response

Falls the shadow.
