Paul Gallagher Poet Free verse

The Rock and the Waterfall

The rock and the waterfall

It forces me down
I cannot budge
Hundreds of years
Not one nudge

It pounds my back 
Always, relentless
The weight is so strong
Time is so senseless

A thousand more years 
Have come and gone
I have no energy
I feel so numb

Thousands of years now
Its shaped me as so
The forms that we made 
Are here to show
