Once I was a stone

along the beachside

where the ocean sang to me

but I was found and carried to a new home

and set in a lovely garden

I remembered the ocean

but it was far away and lost to me

yet the garden cradled me

and comfort was known


then it rained


and the rain spoke to me of my memories

and loved me

it soothed me with tender kisses of the ocean

and I bathed in its caress

but still I lay within the garden

and the rain could not stay forever

it could only come an go

and leave the ache of longing for the ocean


then I knew


that this was the stone's home

this garden

and it was beautiful too

and I needed to become a garden stone

and let the ocean go

for as a stone I must stay where I lay

and cannot cast myself differently


and in the garden - if I try . . .

maybe I can find Eden

s.a.t.




Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

no way! Go back to the water...

I'm no longer close to the ocean either, but I tell you what, I am going back...just as soon as I can.
