When Do Stones Cry?
Like
many others in life,
I’ve seen stones lying on beaches
and roadsides
all
around the world.
I’ve held them in my hand, even
felt
their weight;
collected them, then, thrown them away;
at times, valued their beauty.
But, if stones were compared to
people in our lives—
I’ve never seen a stone cry.
I’ve seen pieces chipped off,
seen them shattered and cast aside,
but, I’ve never sensed their pain, like others—
nor have I thought to care.
But, like those stones, weathering the storms of life,
no matter what you do to them—they’re always there.
Question is,
When do stones cry?
