You stand rock-like
But I stand on flimsy
Footprints reaching
Out for words in emptiness
You stand in steadfast principles
But mine waver every moment
When the earth shakes
Or tornado strikes
You say give never get
I say give and let live
I am bedrock of passion
Stone foot compassion
Wavering in light
Stoic at night
Till dreams are a cleavage
In what is right
