The Skin & The Stone

 

For thousand years eroded

what the flow,

Or broken, in pieces thousand

times;

The skin, one day, on eve, touched in awe,

Felt if thousand years were spent

in lies.

What took infinite to tear

a facet,

Yet, a touch on one,

no more stood stoned;

The smite of waves, days &

nights, yet, no nudge felt,

A gentle embrace of it, as if

conquered the throne.

In cohesion distinct matter

danced inside,

In chores chanting, this

life you own;

What moved the rock

within & made to

sink,

But time turned it to

back & forth. :(
