In the Heart of the Stone
Hidden by the slow passage of the years
A gem, like a bright tear
was hidden in the dark,
and must serendipity
to find her.
Also, when you'll ask the stone
how to get to it,
what sesame could
open the doors of the mineral.
How the fossil managed to go
into the heart of the rock?
The stone does not know what answer to you.
Its language has crystallized,
but you finally understand
there is no other door
than patience.
