I can hear the stones
Listening, sometimes.
Old gold yet youthful at the
pulse,
Engaged and curious.
How they grasp
At the people and
Seasons passing
at a furious clip.
Dizzy
in emotion
yet they
play with inert alert.
The opposite of
certain brethren
Who sleep deeply,
Exhausted with forgotteness.
I whisper “thank you’s”
Of gratitude to
Them both for
Even when Broken or
Brazen,
In their seeming solidity,
everything, everything
seems to swing
Towards the possible
Once again.
Lovely words and photos to accompany them! Thank you.
Such a beautiful, hopeful poem. Thank you.
I love this, Heather. The rhythm reminds me of a rap song.
