The Rocks And…

The rocks and the trees have become one

on this mountain

the trees,

like tourists,

come and go

but the rocks never die

they’ve been lying here 

watching the once mighty waterfall

age and shrink

even the tallest of trees come and go

none lives forever

the rocks

they have always been here from the beginning

but the presence of the invading trees

have left marks on the mighty rocks

like signatures of passing time

set in stone

the rocks will always remember

the patience of the trees

first a foothold

and then the invasion of the entire mountain

penetrating the heart of the most hardened rock

with their patience and roots

causing cracks in what once seemed

a formidable fortress of rocks
