A Rock That No One Can Shatter
We think we have our safety net
filling our lives full of every little thing
favourites we protect ourselves around
'I am a rock' is what we like to sing
Being a reader I love my books
my poetry is to me a real anchor
to me, it's what keeps me together
not like the Titanic, ice rock sank her!
In my solitude of my quiet room
this is my rock, my safety net
there in my loneliness, I do like
me and my thoughts there to collect
As like an island there I stand
separated by liquid all around
standing tall above everything else
listening to birds lyrical sound
A rock that no one can shatter
now that's something to have near
think deep down is that really true?
that rock maybe has a fear!
( This is based on Simon & Garfunkel's ' I am a Rock'
'I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armour
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock.
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.)
