Poem: "The Rock of Our Love"

This poem came from the May 3, 2011 Poetry Fishbowl.  It was inspired by a prompt from wyld_dandelyon.  It was sponsored by Shirley & Anthony Barrette.


The Rock of Our Love


The rock of our love
is smooth as water,
polished by all
that has gone before.

The rock of our love
is heavy as an anchor,
weighted with all our
thoughts of gravity.

The rock of our love
is shiny as a mirror,
filled with every moment
of our reflection.

The rock of our love
is both folklore and fact,
both symbolism
and jewelry.

The rock of our love
is not something that we buy,
but something that we
build upon.
