Meditation Stone
Great rock
From the great black heart
Of Earth
You sing me the song
Of the planet’s bones
Susurrus of ancient rivers and
Evaporated roads.
Ponderous,
You weigh me down.
I sink deep into my own life
My toes tingle in the river of time
Which flows beyond this worried moment
And I flow with it
All peace
All great wide empty still
Suffused with the knowingness
Of stone.
