serving as the wall
the dock stands
above tumultuous
water tides
rippling underneath
or splashing its sides
supporting pillars
sides exposed
soon are habits
homes really
for creatures
pivotal to the
environment around
in the summer
boards and people
welcome the
sprays of cold
while in the winter
they freeze above
making a rink
for steady
humans as yourselves
