Stones
Stones splash, splash
On the surface of the white snow waves of the sea
With horrendous, horrible hope
That whirls, whispers and whistles
The sonnets of love and belonging.
Belonging, believing, love,
Such disease!
Disease with no cure,
Yet
The terrible ailments are described as something so pure.
What are stones to do?
The stones who splash.
Don't they know what hope could do to them when they are meant to sink slowly
Down
Down
Down
And down.
Forgotten
Lost
Just stones.
Belonging and love never belongs to stones,
Stones aren't gold.
Diamonds choose gold.
Stones just stay stones.
Just stones.
Then why? Why?
Such horrible hope of the disease that makes splashing happen?
