Stone

i am but a dirty stone
thrown into a stagnant pool
a thud a sickly splash
ripples quickly vanish

all that's left of me
is lying in the murky waste
drowned dumb dead as stone
cold and uncaring

i stare from the shallow sludge
sunlight drifts downward
too weak to warm
too feeble to illuminate

here i wait
patiently silently
for the storm
to wash me away

  2. Wait - maybe you aren't a stone at all but a dirt clod, waiting to melt away, to nourish the grass around whose roots you lie. I didn't know they had stones in Texas cow fields...

    Maybe this post will turn that frown upside down.
