Stormy ocean is angrily hitting the rock
the boy is sitting on
the rock is patiently bearing
strong kicks from the angrily sea
and he’s quiet
the boy is silently watching
how the stormy sea
is angrily hitting the rock
he listens
he listens
how broken sounds
are dripping
the ancient songs
about the rock
and the sea
does the boy wonder
that his life too
will one day
become
a sea
stormy and angrily
