The Rock

 

A rock was relocated

From where it stood

An eternity

To the front lawn

Of one who saw beauty

Within it’s configuration.

 

The area where The Rock

Originated from

Displayed a void

Where nothing grew

While it stood

Like a fixture of time.

 

Left behind

Were the creatures,

That dwelled beneath

The Dampness

Of it’s sanctuary.

 

Evicted of shelter

They’ll either survived

Or die

From exposure

To the elements of reality.

 

The scar

The Rock left behind

Will rejuvenated itself

With time

Grass will flourish

As Nature heals itself.

This poem shows intense depth of thought. A very realistic awareness here. Takers usually don't think about the consequences. Excellent write~

what a wonderful write inspired but something that many take for granted...very clever and well written, also reminds me of ourselves as humans how at times after enduring trama, tragedy, and loss that we sometimes feel vulnerable and exposed for the world to see our hurt and pain, also reminded me of all those whom floods, wildfire, and tornadoes have affected taking their homes and all that they knew as a safe haven...well done my friend!
Blessings,

Taking up that rock is just like our bodies making a move...we have to get into a renewal mode. Where we can grow and flourish like a beautiful big oak tree and in time the vacant place we left behind will never be remembered. I loved this.

Wow William I can put this into real life, as things change we learn to accept it and move on or weaken with hurt and pain, hoping it will strengthen us and give us the encouragement to move on. Thank you for sharing.

To remove a huge rock requires much strength. To move a small one hardly no effort. All the same rocks are building blocks to the future and are meant to survive wherever they are placed. A memorial you made out of this one and left grass to replace it besides. Nature replenishing itself is truly a gift from God too. Fine thoughts in this write too.

Deeply effecting - moving the rock to let the darkened places in the soul be touched by the Light - that's what came to mind, reading this - well done, William -

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

William, this poem is very thought provoking and I shall say two things:
A rock symbolizes strength, endurance, and longevity. An exposed area symbolizes a weakness or an openness for rejuvenation and rebuilding. You can take this poem in many ways, I like to look at the positive side, by moving this rock and exposing the things hidden underneath, is a way to healing and dealing with inner issues.
I wish you much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

The only "rock" I ever know was the one between Sausalito and San Francisco, they called it Alcatraz and anybody, but anybody are welcomed to take it and put it in their front yard, it will not be missed, and a lot of lobster could find a place in that hole (I like my lobsters prepared "á la Termidor)
