Stones

The stones
Fold and unfold
Among lengths of sand
Solemn with
Sacred silence
Often a mystery.

The stones
Traditional in time
A constant in changing form
Hold images in
Texture and life
Of years past
Penning the poems of tomorrow.

Listen to the stones
Strengthened by storm
Spines grounded in
Universal truth
While firmly rooted in today.
