My "Song of Songs"

 Like a truth ~ I did not really understand.

Till now...  

This poem, dating back to my college years, still speaks to me.  

I found a rock upon the beach

A weather-beaten, battered rock

Who loved to stand and bear the waves

And greet the rushing waters - day by day.

I bound myself to that rock I found -

I could not tear myself away.

Two fearless lovers we became

And met the rushing waters in our way.

But rocky coast turns into sand

When time and waters have their way.

And two who stood to face the waves

Turned into sand and blew away.

"The souls of the virtuous are in the hands of God... In the eyes of the unwise, they did appear to die, but they are at peace."  [Wisdom 3:1-2,3]
