Morro Rock
Beneath a blue dome, above an azure sea
A volcanic prodigy stands proudly to the heavens
Caressed by the
tide; encircled by a cloud of feathered hunters
Nature’s landmark beckons a
sojourn for all sea-drained travelers
Its base, a dozen vessels strong; its peak, a half-score of
stacked masts
Those at shore stand and marvel
The brilliance of the bay
The uncompromising
grandeur and enchantment of Morro Rock
-- Vincent Lowry
