Description
As I was out on this December morning, I must have sat here for the longest time in quiet contemplation. Just lost in thought ... then for some reason the song "I Am a Rock" by Simon & Garfunkel starting playing in my head. I came to so to speak, and was aware of my surroundings again. Even though this is not a city scene, I still gave this shot the title of the opening words to the song, for this was the very first thing I saw as I looked out the car window. Just to give you the ambiance I'm including the words to the song below. (Please know I am not this neurotic!)
"I Am A Rock"
A winter's day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Don't talk of love,
Well I've heard the words before;
It's sleeping in my memory.
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.
