Driftwood on Nye Beach

as one approaches it

from North headed South

looks like a Lioness

protecting her nascent Cubs

whilst scanning the Savannahs

for any potential threats

to their nurtural safety

but as one encroaches

on farther and further 

Her majestic appearance transforms

gradually and most Miraculously

into a courageous Lamb

similarly assessing her surroundings

for any predatory perpetrators

and ready to defend

her precious little Lambs

(even to the point

of being wounded Herself)

reminding any marauding raiders

of the lost art

of nourishing their Beloveds

without defrauding another Flock

(which rouses the Waves

into a cacophonous chorus

of howling, hallowed Hallelujahs)

both Lioness and Lamb

taking care, taking stock

amidst the specieal shock

of how two Nurturers

so naturally different could

Embody the Maternal Spirit

(even as they are

merely made of wood)

as still yet sentient

Beings who illogically Incarnate

the Untamed Heart and

Unlimited and Universal Love

of their Infinite Creator

as unique Entities with

uncommon identities who are

in Essence and Evanescence

One and the Same...

Thank You.
