The Rock... I have no
idea who wrote this, however it is very powerful.
The Rock
They died young around him
A rock they broke themselves
against
And the spirit horse raced with
him
To the dark edge of the earth.
He fought long through nights
And terrible days of winter
Sometimes crossing the boundary
Between madness and reason.
At the end of the race
The spirit horse overtook him
As he lost his footing in the dark.
The rage of the rock at last was
calm.
They all died young around him.
For to love him was to fall.
