Soul Stone

Moment after moment Time drained into the void The water waned dry As drought vehemently annoyed ...plenty The juxtaposition of the River Sliced reason to bleed Garments of value Snagged on a broken reed ...trust HAH!!! Space between sorrow and suffering Are plinks of relief away Never lasting to create False safety in a glorious day ...'round FLAT...FLAT...Freakin' fat Every dream, every vision Lies on this drained River bed Every hope, every promise Are resources, unattainable, natural ...but, I'm lead A stone, bright, baffled, like earth Lying in the red, clay, silt I gather my tools about the jewel Digging, lifting, seeing what LOVE built ...in me AGATE Written by Trudy Schrader on 08-21-2022
