Bedrock projects along the Pacific coast,
 Flora homesteading on their tentative footing.
Nature’s foundation augmented with added rocks,
 Rising boldly over the crashing surf from the sea.
Forming safe haven for creatures of beach, rocks, and air,
 The fortress by the sea, carved by the hand of God.
