It's common to see rocks
where one would think no rock should ever be
way up here in never-never land
Millenniums have come
and gone
Forests have grown
And burned to ash
The rocks remained
Native Americans thrived
And died
Were driven out
The rocks remained
Miners came like locusts
Dug deep into the earth
Took their fill
To fill their tills
And vanished as quickly as they had come
The rocks remained
Scattered helter skelter
Weathered
Worn
Some look happy
Some forlorn
Across the road
About 2 minutes from my front door
Is this Rock
That I swear is the white whale Moby Dick!
He's rising out of the ground
Mouth slightly open
Ready to breath in life sustaining air
And
Time stopped
Captured forever in stone
Or perhaps it's the whale that swallowed Jonah?
Ah, but that thought is for another day
Another blog
For today
It will remain Moby Dick
But then again...
What do YOU see???
