My Dear And Deep Loved Rock Poem by Cameron Gallant

My dear and deep loved rock
You are so beautiful
Become a dove so we can fly
And leave this filthy ground behind

My dear and deep loved rock
You are so kind and nice
If not a dove become a flame
So you can warm me when it rains

My dear and deep loved rock
If that doesn’t suit your taste
Become a place where I can float
And drink you up, become a lake

Because when you’re rock
You’re stubborn as a mule
Though I love you, you’re cold and hard
You never speak, you stupid fool!
