Rock
Lone rock stands in center of the ocean in Galapagos island chain
But this rock is anything but plain
Getting there by early explorers was a pain
But their journey was not in vane
The rock supports ecosystem of oceanic abyss
For migrating birds it is a place of bliss
This top of volcano ocean waves will kiss
And two great ocean currents join as fire and water will hiss
One is cold and supports all kind of life which at night
Consists of plankton that makes for almost alien sight
As it shimmers in twilight
And higher life forms eat it under moon’s surreal light
The second current is hot and flamingos, iguanas, turtles, and other creatures
That this island features
Many with unusual features
Thrive in this environment of many colors
Darwin noticed this island and for the first time
Suggested life wasn’t static but changed over time
To him life was glorious but based only on blood and enzyme
But there is more to this rock something more prime
The energy centers are written in stone
Like the fabric of universe they have special tone
To the sky immortal realm of Gods they can phone
The last deep place of thought and soul are magnified as if by microphone
Through this rock mesmerizing power in full majesty
Allows one to write destiny
Far beyond infinity
The outer stellar beauty
