Devil's Rock

There is a place of beauty here of which many people talk
High above Lake Timiskaming and its name is Devil's Rock
I don't know where it got its name it's a mystery to me
Looking at this wondrous site it's not evil it's plain to see
A majestic mountain outcrop pushed up from earth's entrails
Standing tall above the lake it has written many tales
Miners have explored its base drilled deep inside its core
Hoping to find a silver vein in their ever search for more
Climbers will test their skill as they ascend her fractured face
Never sure if it is safe great danger they embrace
Many seasons have chipped away at its visage of broken rocks
Ice buildup in the winter spreads open fractures in large blocks
Ready to slip away and fall in chunks that could weigh many ton
One wrong move on their part brings an end to all their fun
A platform on its highest peak brings all the islands into view
Mirrored in the evening's calm on waters clear and blue
The gentle breeze atop its crown will caress you and console
A picture of such rich artistry it will calm your very soul
I look at it as an awesome scene that's painted by God's hand
A tribute to mother nature's power like a trophy it does stand
It's just another pile of rock for those whom its beauty, cannot see
A place of power and majesty for those who's spirits are set free.
