Ceded Life

Rocks emerge at water's edge.
Annals scoring winds,
Searing days, tumultuous seas.
History sculpted crags.

Seasons pass, regress
Ocean waves chisel,
Undulate, swell, surge.
Lapsed time fades.

Cold and heat chip change.
Each spell transforms, amends.
Differences appear, subtle;
Extreme over eons.

Lives the same lived.
If deeper delved, still
Fight and fortune, this one filled
Evolution's forced return
