I am sure
I saw fear in his eyes,
but I was prepared to knock him down.
That first thrash hit him hard
then the second thrash,
the third,
the nth….
he still stood tall and proud.
My throbbing, powerful waves
kept lashing into him.
He was a ‘rock’.
But I believe
had a heart of a marshmallow
for he never
avenged me
for my behavior.
Sadly, he knew how ‘hurt’ works.
I had seen some humans crying for the very same reasons at my shore.
~ Rocks they seem but they do get hurt.
