Just Me...

Something about myself, to be identified in the world...

I am a Rock !!!

I lived high, on a mountain,
I let go, and came tumbling down,
Touched the sky, conquered the raging river,
Passed thru the magestic forest,
Played with the animals there,
Contributed to the mightiest building.

But I lay now by the road,
Dusty and dirty
The sun heats me, the night cools me
The wind can't soothe me,
The rain can't drown me.
I lay there, numb, stationary, cold
waiting my turn to be a part of the earth again.

Dear Dyson,

Very well written poem, but if you relate it to life, you'll see that we all go through similar phases, where we feel wasted and unwanted just like the rock, but what we forget is all along we are still part of the bigger picture of life, just like the rock, so I disagree when you say that the rock is waiting to be a part of the earth....
