Glass & Stone glass or stone both so easily thrown yet as one shatters the other bounces and rolls home to its garble garden of rock and earth of sand and harden but neither have seen more a matching clink than the sound of a glass placed softly to a stony rink perhaps you haven’t read but the story as it goes has sometimes been said to say that stone was to glass well met, well suited, and at a time her lover’s lass but now sand parts rather fast whenever a rock is flung dust, having broken asunder has stolen the rib and lung from her grey granite other later finding its home in a glass who is well met by the ring of a smooth merry tone when reunited they sing and glass kisses stone then sand is left wondering to why bother leave and spend time alone when the tail of the tale ends as begins i mean more or less a stone is a stone [This message has been edited by b.costen (11-02-2003 11:26 PM).] |

yet as one shatters the other bounces and rolls home to its garble garden of rock and earth of sand and harden but neither have seen more a matching clink than the sound of a glass placed softly to a stony rink ~*~ The whole of the poem rolls off my tongue, and the metaphor could not be any better. Read deep, read wise... |
