THE ROCK

Once, it was a huge rock with thousand of birds playing on top of it
It took the ocean hundred years to break it down bit by bit
It took the ocean's sons, daughters, grandchildren, great grandchildren
and still the rock was there
getting older
getting smaller
and still, it was a strong rock
and no one could tell you
how many years it would break and disappear
even time was not there to tell
surely it is a mystery
only the rock knows when
when it knew, it was too late..
