When I Walked
By A Rock,
Did I Hear
The Rock
Talk?
I've often thought of rocks

As fascinating to behold -

Sculptures, carved by nature

And incredibly old.







They’re full of information              

All about our history;

Some rocks reveal their secrets,

Some remain a mystery.


This stone that held my interest

Was about thirteen feet tall;

With a large hole through the center,

From which you could see it all!


Further close inspection

Had revealed that over time,

The strange hole in the middle

Earned a crust of sooty grime.


I started then, to contemplate,

On how that came to be

And oh, how I was yearning

For that rock to talk to me!
