Off the Coast of Oregon

Off the coast of Oregon
There stands a solitary rock.
Standing proud and defiant
Against the ocean's wrath;
Against the turbulent tides,
Against the ravaging waves
Of winter storms.
Year upon year,
It resists.
With each passing year,
The rock loses some of its essence
Tiny grains of sand are pried away
To build up the beach -
The ocean's monument to itself.
Yet year after year,
The rock stands, resolute,
If only a little bit less proud.
Off the coast of Oregon,
There once stood a solitary rock.
