Scroll down to see the faces of nature.  Someone’s always watching  😉 The last one might not be as obvious but if you look carefully to the right of the stone, you can see what appears to be a lion or dog face/body.  The bigger rock is the one I wrote about in my poem “Inanimate Soul”  The face no longer exists…

Inanimate Soul ~ #poetry

Legend has it, he’s watching you

Hiding in the verdant hue

Of leaves and flora, a hanging limb

That gather round, disguising him

At first you think, it’s just a stone

That lines the path, up to your home

Until you take a closer view

There’s someone looking back at you

Stumbling backward, up the hill

You notice that he’s staring, still

You shake your head and blink your eyes

But this really comes as no surprise

To see a soul, though inanimate, it’s true

Rocks have feelings, they most certainly do

 

Author’s Note: Hubby spotted this rock looking back at us the other night.  It has been there for years, 26 to be exact, and we never noticed the face.  I wonder who it could be watching over us   ❤

Life seems quite empty now
The pages glued together
Unable to turn to chapter two
I’m lost in the land of never

Not like Peter, no, not he
This place was something more
A hollowed piece of a broken heart
Swept away, like the ocean shore

You took the shattered parts
And flung them to the side
Tossed away my feelings
Cared nothing for my pride

I tried so hard to forget you
No matter how deep the pain
Finding myself beside the window
I cry alone, again, with the rain

Your flowers, laid so carefully
On the rocks so far below
Your way of saying goodbye to me
Funny, I was the last to know

I’ve lost the will to carry on
But they say, I must go on living
And finally come to grips, the facts
This simply was my misgiving
