Welcome Stone

Posted in Life on Apr 27, 2024 by Anthracite

Once I was a river
Reaching as a tree
A light in the dark

Now the stream grows dry
And branches come crashing down
The light becomes a glow

But this is welcome
To sit with nature
And become the stone.

The Quiet

Don’t be afraid for me tonight
The sky won’t fall and wheels still turn
Don’t be scared while I’m out of sight
The river may run but the water burns

I cannot speak or say what’s true
Though here, imprisoned behind my eyes
Sits heavy this heart of blue
Forget it, just leave it where it lies

Don’t speak, don’t say out loud
Just keep it down just beat it back
turn away melt into the crowd
as the light within fades to black.
