C. Morgenstern: The Surf (Free verse) by yonderland
Waiiit and seee...
how much have I torn off from you
since all the eons of our fight â
waiiit and seee...
how many proudly standing rocks
my arm shall pull into the deep â
waiiit and seee...
back and forth and back and forth â
and ever forward more than back â
waiiit and seee...
today I'm mild, tomorrow wild â
yet never weak, always awake â
waiiit and seee...
in vain you dam, and ram, and build,
your dikes will crumble, I have time â
waiiit and seee...
and once the people drop their guard,
who then will guard you, land forlorn?
waiiit and seee...
my kingdom's not made of their time:
they die, but I will always be â
waiiit and seee...
and never rest, until you are
completely torn onto my ground â
waiiit and seee...
until your highest snowy firns
get eaten by my salt and melt â
waiiit and seee...
and nothing else there is than I
and I and I and I â
waiiit and seee
