Would the Stream Return
The stream lost in tectonic turmoil
Arterial channel skeletal
A pebble poised on the brink
Petrified still
Unrolling inertia
Thwarted by the sands
Of static time
Patina of moist caress
Weathered in the strife
Of ossified life
Existential essence
The primordial building strands
Covered the inert facet
Layer by layer
Grew the malachite moss
Elemental life sprouted
As verdant veil
Wrapping the stony heart
Before turning to fossil
Abrading hope pondered
Would the stream return
