The Rock of Wonder

Never did it shine
As much as it did
Maybe it's destroyed
..God forbid

It appeared a,
Long time ago
It was neither
Mine or of a foe's
On the smooth streets
It had lied
So, I've
taken it inside

This rock was
Ivory like a bone
Almost as refined
As a stone
When it was needed,
I cleaned
And took care of bumps
I did

Setting it down,
I dazed
Once again,
I was so amazed
It still looked
So beautiful
After all the things
it went through

Stepping back, though,
ruined the view
There's evidence
It was far from new
Lil crevices
Glowed in the dark
Then, ruined thoughts
began to embark
Looking again,
At its whole entity
The problems of it
I pitied
Its dust, color,
And erosion
Had made it seem dead
From poison
Even if approached
By someone brave
The connection
Can't be saved

Then, I noticed
How far I am
Couldn't keep
The "Ingram" (in me)
One small step,
Seemed colossal
Like the length
Of the chain corals
It really,
Did not make sense
Why I was kept
Intense

Now knowing of the
Substance
I've developed
An essence
Of the feelings
I hold dear
For the
Rock of wonder

Let me stay
Very sincere
Maybe, even,
coming near
To say I've
Liked you before
Before reasons
Have been torn
Notice now,
The distance
(I should,)
So, I could
Steer to the fence (of)
What has had an
Effect on me
For what I've
Become to be
