So shattered stone
Through the contractions of ice
And the wear of ages ancient click tick
Before time measured hands of circles
Yet after there crawled slime from sea

This is sand
To mingle free within the confines of earth
Or travel wingless battering burn of storms

Abrading bearing smooth the rough face
Of fractured forms split to vertices of angles
Unable to move or cry the wane of eons songs

Still I wonder
                       How long
How long the song is sung with veins that run
Constricting throats that choke in dust
Coughing up the silicates left
From broken glass

Stuttered sweep of wind
Move Tuscan dun one grain before
One at the end to undulate the lay of horizons
And bury again igneous faces.

So black the night
   That holds

So hard the earth
      To even roots of stone

Long enough that inherently
we look to the windsong
of our past, knowing something bigger
was always out there...

to leave us feeling small.

Well done, Sir!

Amazing how you did this!

Still I wonder
                       How long
How long the song is sung with veins that run

And sometimes....

Though, it loses parts of itself...
The stone is merely polished


Good to read you, m'friend

To toss those stones into a tumbler and let the shine mirror back the beauty as you have done in this poem.  Beautiful write.

Ron,

How long the song is sung with veins that run
Constricting throats that choke in dust


how long?

Until what is meant to be done, is, well finished.

eons . . . my friend
