Unsung Hero

I'm singing your song
Because the world slept
When you moved mountains.
Because the world blinked
When you brought in the tide.

I'm singing your song
From mountaintops
I'm whispering your song
To waves you brought to shore.

I'm singing your song
To ears that are
Unattuned to the rhythms
Of seismic underactivity.

I'm singing your song
Because it's
Something to sing about.
