Heavy Stone

Like a desert lily
Like February sunshine
Like an August rain
Like daisies in a pavement crack

Like a cat on your lap
Like a parent's compliment
Like a child's gratitude 
Like a smile on the subway

Like an oasis in the desert
Like regaining your sight
Like cancer in remission
Like a winning lottery ticket

Like a reconciled marriage
Like an armistice announcement 
Like a stay of execution
Like a rolled away stone 
  by an empty tomb

Michelle Faulkner Date: 4/5/2024 3:14:00 PM This speaks of renewal and second chances, very appropriate for Easter and spring, always glad of a new poem from you! Makes me appreciate the little things so often taken for granted-
Gary Radice Date: 4/2/2024 8:08:00 AM Long time no read John but this was so worth the wait. Great to see you writing back at The Soup again.Your poems never disappoint. When all appears out of balance and teetering on the precipice, your positive words, here, remind us that there is so much good in the world too. The last two lines that, for me, reference faith, hope and belief provide comfort and contemplation in these very uncertain times. Cheers - Gary
