I was moved by winds of change
and currents of society,
but no more...

for I am rock.

Be it sunrise or sunset,
burning heat of youth or freezing cold of death
I sit with obstinance of age and the ambivalence of slowing passions.

For I am ROCK.

Slowly maturing,
being ground into my foundation by the weight of the future,
the burdens of the present,
and my crushing antipathy for the past,

for I am rock.

As I grow old as father mountain,
the younger generation and the parasites dig out my gems of emotion
that have coalesced by pressure of experience and time,

to veins of...

Golden Wisdom, Silver Clarity, and Red Rubies of pure LOVE

It's quite lovely :)

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
