When I Was a Stone
I
when i was a stone
i laid tirelessly on this earth
high atop a knoll and was content to be
until someone had fallen
and loosened my grip
different from when the rains came
different from when the drips drained
the gap that distanced me
allowed me to suddenly roll
as much as i could
until momentum took hold
and spirited me on
and though the winds quelled
i crumbled along a trajectory
landing finally
finally
II
and my pores
slowly relaxed
my igneous skin cracked -
i laid and saw the ultra sky
III
the sand that shored around me
was always the thing in sight
and i smiled with great delight
looking back from where i rolled -
up on the long hill
where i had forever been
the sand came
washing over me
with silent whispers
in harmony
...... i can finally hear what
they're saying to me ......
............we were once like you …….
