The Rock

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      I woke up this morning, restless,

     Then decided to go for a walk.

     I walked along the marina,

     Among the boats queued in the dock.

 

      I witnessed hungry seagulls,

      Stealing roadkill from a hawk.

      Saw an old woman at the bait shop,

      Her hanky tucked into her frock.

 

       I felt myself feeling weary,

       While passed by a high school jock.

       Who knows how long I’d wandered,

       I couldn’t see a clock…

 

       I looked for a spot to rest a bit,

       Then suddenly spied a beckoning rock…

       The moment I took comfort there,

       I felt the universe talk.
