Like a Rock

There
was
no
overcoming
you
no
matter
who
or
what
no
appeasing
no
flattering
or
groveling
that
would
work.
Even
in
the
last
days
when
you
seemed
so
weak
you
threw
everyone
out
no
one
could
defy
you
or
cajole
you
into
letting
them
stay
what
kind
of
a
being
could
have
that
intense
clarity
could
override
everything
and
everyone
yet
everything
you
were
and
everything
you
did
was
for
us
we
knew
that
if
we
knew
nothing
else.
