Harry Horsman Poet Free verse

Stone Mason

Stone

Stone so solid so strong
keeper of warmth,
protector of strife,
crafted in to one’s image
guardian of the ones you love.

Mason

Builder of dreams
creator of solid foundations
master, mistress of the arts
carver of love
adept in architecture.

Together

A Temple of love.

A Mason
in Stone,
where one can enter
and become whole
with paradise!

Gail Debole February 4, 2013 at 1:56 PM Harry - Enjoy the way the stone is used to create a Mason's image, and at the end - the whole becomes more than the sum of its parts. Nice tribute. - Gail
