Rockslide

"What happens when a mountain cries..."

Rockslide

What happens when a mountain cries
A cold, flowing streamlet to the sea
And strong as stone itself believes to be 
But learns the truth as rock down flies?
And as the silt flows rivers wide down
Steep, cracked and winded mountainside
To the pebbled beach and takes by storm
The bases of houses, old and well worn.
And the rocks come to pause on the sand
‘Fore thrown wildly to a milder sea
And I (of the rough and mountain be)
Come of what in a pile far from land?
