The Language of Stones

For a millennium. 
We've sipped those same
poisons-potions-passions.
It's a wonder we're still breathing.
Why our souls are still beating.
We're born into a maelstrom of self-destruction.
But when the golden midge of life floats along. 
Only the river stones can explain their dreams.
We have yet to learn their language.

Perhaps if we listen to the whisper of silence, we shall hear what the stones have to say!

I think that's our greatest accomplishment is that we are still here. Have a great day, stay frosty my friend.
