Fortitude

Oh earthy rock, the savage man does not know, neither does the learned understand the secret to your existence. You sit here, year after year watching your adversaries screaming, and swallowing their wrath. You have aunthetic power, I see you resisting their sharp arrows, and when the competition comes your way, you out-sing them with your song. The floods tried to uproot you the winds also failed, the masses come upon you, but none of them could prevail. Oh solid rock, show me the way. ©2013 Christine Phillips
