A hard, thick, stubborn Rock stood strong
immovable
powerful
inspirational

Able to resist storms all season long.

The Rock remained unchanged for ages
always solid
always hardy
always present

Was always there through weather changes.

The Rock didn’t fret as a storm approached
storm raged
storm roared
storm struck

Storm attacked and the Rock broke.

The Rock shattered, reduced to dust
dust in the wind
dust in the sea
dust in the earth

In spite of its strength the Rock was crushed.

The landscape forever changed without it
lamenting
mourning
longing

Though it is gone, those who knew will not forget.
