Stone

Mako shark swims sixty miles an hour That takes a lot of power Sometimes great white small pebbles will devour As for prey the oceanic abyss it will scour Red gums with blistering teeth you will see On the shark that is lord of the sea His eyes are lustrous black and deeply eerie Deeper then abyss of the very sea Once the stones lord of ocean regurgitated With stone imbued with power lord accumulated Steller’s Sea eagle picked it up for this stone bird was avid And for a while lord of the sky it guarded Then he dropped it to jaguar’s den Jaguar with bite force of more than ten That bite right through caiman’s head can Lord of jungle played with the stone in his pen Then The stone was found by a man Who has thrown it to a river again Thinking it could not be worth a live hen The stone was lustrous grey blue Its width was Inches two Its length also just a few And through what the pebble was no one had a clue But in that lied stones’ majesty Inconspicuous not much to see Yet it could truly Levitate man beyond destiny
