Voiced / POEM: Rock Redemption by Thomas Rivet

Rock Redemption

When life striketh a tough time
Tread the damp seasoned ground
Sole on soil - glaring down
Leaves set aside by footsteps
Itchy feet, sigh
Scratch
A sleek
Nay, rugged rock
into the rough.
It is
Precious, still.
Rumoured to house an opaque
Snow-toned stone;
as beauty shines -
... !

By Poseidon, it has been under-ed!
Lanced thru thy heart of lake
Seek it, rookie seaman
For Human’s sake?
