Just a brightly colored stone

Washed ashore and caught

How long will this defiance continue

Gravity is thwarted

The rush of sea and ocean waves

Denied

How long has this gone on

Precious bounty

Stuck

The tides sweep all away

Eventually

For now

For now

We stay right here

Above it all

Unseen grip

No gripe

Unique and radiant

Secure and safe

No strife
