Camelia Radu Poet Lyric

Desert Story

Stones inadvertently resemble pain
sharp when raw
freshly torn from rock.

Witnesses of time, they fill with voices
the ridges round off,
become children's cheeks.

Afterwards 
they shrink,
stone egg cells
in an eternity of ideas.

Vicky Tsiluma October 19, 2012 at 2:52 AM I love the wisdom that shines through in this poem. Likening pain to stones -genius. It reminds us that no matter how accute the pain, just as stones disintergrate so does pain dissipate. Wonderful write Camelia! Camelia Radu November 30, 2018 at 11:52 AM Thank you
