Stone

Stood alone yet not isolated
Surrounded by those who are similar
Everlasting yet worn by nature
Resolute yet not unyielding.
Many seasons have been endured
Shaped and molded by the elements
Though formidable, not yet broken
All in nature is vunerable.
Unnoticed by many it endures
Admired for its grandeur
It cannot be moved easily
Save by those guile & cunning.
The years have taken their toll
Time passes & the edges become worn
But its strength never diminishes
Its purpose never wavers.
Made by nature
Challenged by nature
Born of this world
Is man’s soul so different.
Divided from nature we are lost, united with nature we are invincible.
I grew up in the UK in a house filled with books and was encouraged to read and write from an early age. My family emigrated to Canada when I was 9 and I have lived in both places at various times since. I later studied Literature & philosphy at University and consider myself very much still a student of those subjects. I aspire to write the way EE Cummigs describes poetry should be written from deep rooted emotion.
