Antediluvian

A rising tide lifts all boats.
A tsunami inundates the coast.

Who are we when tears flood in?
A damned nation wailing in sin?

Or are we aboriginals bound for higher ground?
Anticipation:  the lonesome, busy sound

of waves lapping against rocks.
A force of nature and man are ever locked.

She who works for waters to be calmed
pockets her tips and whispers a psalm.
