Carrying On.
Water crosses curved world by
pulling its oceans
through the ebb and fall tides,
holding back floods
from rocky cliff-bolstered sides
so safer feel locals
who choose land\'s end residing.
Crews bearing up
against storm\'s crashing cries
from breakers\' wide maw
means communal-arm fighting
to tie boats to shore
when all waves become mighty.
Carrying on is the mantra
of fisher-folk tackling
the force of wild sea-wind rise.
