i am the stone; you the sand i am the stone tossed into ocean rough edges my battle scars past pains my jagged peaks chiseled loose i fight the waves you are the sand much finer than i you crash against my body shaping me wearing down my edges till i smooth against you i am the stone tossed upon the beach you are the sand i land upon ~ Ruth www.angelfire.com/pa/OriginalMinds/index.html [This message has been edited by hoot_owl_rn (03-19-2002 08:16 AM).] |

I loved both versions of this in my mind and once over the natural vision, I had the human one so clearly invisioned. Ruth, amazing! I tend to read a lot into other people's poetry but I really wanted to think this was a metaphor for the vulnerability and mistrust some feel until the "tides" change, as well as just being about a smooth stone. Either way, both worked for me, and I loved it. The pursuit of truth and beauty is a sphere of activity in which we are permitted to remain children all our lives. |

Thank you so much everyone. This poem is about how others can change our lives so. It's nice to have some of those rough edges and our defenses worn down once in a while |
