THE STONE
HEART OF WHIRLING LAVA & MELTING ROCK
VEINS OF JUICY GEMS & RARE ORE
BONES EXPOSED TO THE COOLING AIR
IN LAYERS, IN BOULDERS, IN TECTONIC FIGHTS
HIDDEN CAVES & MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS
DOWN THE STREAMS & UP THE WELL
I WAS THE SHELTER OF GAMES OF FIRE & THE ALTER OF RITUAL CHOIRS
I WAS THE COLUMN FOR STEADY WEEPS & THE BENCH FOR SUNNY HIPS
MOVING IN ETHER FOR A MOMENT THAT IS FOREVER
FEEDING PEACE AND STRENGTH TO MY LOVERS WHEREVER
