The Secret Life of Stones

a secret

Stones are family. They move in earth and water, and are so strong they cannot be beaten. Stones live within themselves, without fear.

They change in winter through ice and in summer through sun.

Without regret they may turn to dust., eternal in changed forms.

They are distant from foolishness and do not hurt for scant reason.

On a summer evening I will take a warm stone in the palm of my hand

and thus address you 

On the last day let me be you.

You are proved to be the better.

Tis so true: you've only to sit on a stoney shore and look around, pick up, feel the varying shapes, the curves, the angles, note the way light enhances, the different types of stone - tis like observing and touching humankind, so many .. and there's always one that seems more perfect, most beautiful. Not sure of my interpretation but ..
