THE ROCK


Morning glow and daily sun

The birds sing the day begun

As dusk to dawn The morning air flows 

the amalgamation of nature unfolds 

The water flows wild through the brook

The fisherman casts the rusty hook

The rock.. it smiles.. it looks a while

It knows the secrets of which there are many

The land a ship, in green earths hands

as it stands a captain, its ship it does man

The trees they sway all night and day

The rock it towers never ceasing to lay

        But None can ever truly explain

    The glowing beauty the monstrous fame 

With cliffs they hang the danger grows

    The might does show as the light does glow

The small , mighty, truthfulness be

Pain, anguish appear unto me 

The skin will blister

Screams rain out 

The body will suffer

The rock shows no doubt

Some will live to say they've told of

Besting the rock bright and gold

 But none can really, truly say

It was easy to go that way

Running , pleading the rock gives no shame

Life is a burning flame as death is but a game 

The rock will test you for your best

determination , trial , pain and blood

But will tell you to give up, lay and rest

The top of the rock is waiting for your choice

The rock is a lion that can't    be tamed 

The day restarts the earth is plane

 at the top only some remain
