The One Stone

It lay atop the windswept hill the one last haunt of mystic rune now scribed beneath the winter chill in granite stone, the words deep hewn. Enchanted matrix burning bright the monolithic stone stands tall and glows with mystic magic’s light while hope remains this one shan’t fall. At times misplaced or even wrong, it’s faith that helps us carry on, not tall nor great the one stands strong, if stone, our hearts, it’s never gone. From grains of sand are mountains grown as mystic hope is our One Stone. 11/3/2017

I had to read the sonnet... lol And I am not disappointed! Great wording throughout, one being "windswept hill" and "scribed beneath the winter chill"...very descriptive, and unique expressions. What I got from this piece is that there is magic in hope, and in hope our faith is strengthened. Wel done! Always, Laura
