Passive Resistance

in tetrameter

Passive resistance.

 

Beneath the sky, the restless sea

Was lapping at the shingle shore.

As it had often done before.

The shingle resists stubbornly.

It won’t surrender easily.

And when tide ebbs will restore

The pebbles from its endless store.

Kept in reserve permanently.

The shingle beach lies passively

The sea is forced to come and go.

Although it act aggressively

When the tide is in full flow.

It will retreat reluctantly

When tidal energy runs low.

"ebbs will restore"
