STONE

S is the steady rhythm i skip at, my heavy body gliding across the lake, leaving cold ripples in my wake

T is the tune, i can make music with a simple tap or grind, each motion giving a different melody or sound to find

O is the offering to the human race I am, my firm body sheltering generations from the elements, and providing our walking paths of sediments 

N is for nature, no matter how hard you try, i will always be on this planet, i am deep in the veins of our world, from our earths core to the simple tools we hold

E is my everlasting impact on any surface i hit, my dent is carved in, and it will never fade even if it does dim

Stone is for human kind, I was your first friend and enemy, the things we used to build and be tools to the thing we used to hurt and punish others, I will always be apart of this story and the next.
