Deserted now...
The old granite quarry where
Boulders the size of elephants
Grazed in herds on red clay and
sand.
Beached whales washed up on the shore
Of the lake-filled canyon formed unexpectedly
From an underground spring.
Crystalline water as pure as the
dew drops
Affording a view of the bottomless
pond.
Formidable and invitingly clear,
Cool and refreshing from summertime's
heat.
Hovering battlements tall as the tree
tops
Surrounding three sides with lake
castle walls.
A child might imagine the parapets
riding the crest
With cannon and catapult ready to
fire.
The old stone quarry, deserted now.
How many stories do you have to tell?
