Pictured Rocks

Pictured Rocks!

These rocks that are pictured

Nature has beautifully colored

Those colors come from unity

Of various elements in nature

Managanese, Copper, Iron and Sulphur

With very different basic characters

They splish-splashed and whiplashed

And put this unique piece together

These rocks are beautiful

Strenuously carved

Sometimes even battered

And then called chapel rock

The tree that was atop

Held together a piece

It took and it gave

And put it at ease

Just right there nearby

Also carved a beach

To relax and watch the beauty

And feel the nice breeze

These waters are so clear

And so blue and so green

Who can see it's depth

Of fourteen hundred feet

So modest and humble

It lets the small boats

Sail to the rocks and jungle

In its warm blue green coat

The works of the water and the winds

And the rocks and the trees and the sky

The sky where the birds fly

And watch with their wide open eyes

A beauty so unique

Made by united efforts

So calm and so serene

So clear and pristine

The forces carved out a gate

A small and a big portal

And also carved out a limbo cave

Awestruck, watch we mortals

When it starts with the dirt

It is in the making

No one cares for a billion years

While it was baking

It's only when one day 

It becomes obvious

Do all come from far off

Observe it and discuss

And write on it

And think about it

And talk about it

And make it humongous

It must have seen 

The truth from the years

The billions that passed

And the billions yet to come

It must have seen so much

It must have lived so much

It may keep evolving

As the earth keeps revolving
