She's a shipwreck on the shore

Always neatly folded

Like porcelain is molded

Can't help saying "yes" until her legs won't carry any more

Living lost in the heat of the moment
Living fully immersed in the intensity of the present moment.
Running until sharpened stones are broken
Persistently moving forward despite obstacles, likened to running until sharp stones break.
When hurricanes fail, as the wings raise their tails

When the lions can't roar

Though stormy as the sea

Not the melody or verse
