From dust and
God´s deft hand man is born, formed and set upon life´s scree to tread.
Calcium, hard and white, moulding bone. We dangle from the thread of fate, our
destiny to love and hate. Skimming pebbles across life´s ponderings, we roll
and tumble, gathering no worthwhile moss. While on bended knee, upon granite
cold, to the Holy man we confess our sinful dross.
Some may
chant to elements around circled ancient stones, while in far off forests,
others throw the magic bones. We look up at mountains high, of rock and ancient
block, hard and cold. We spend precious time chipping away at hilly hearts to build
our hearths and homes.
In the end it
all falls and tumbles as the earth complains of rape and grumbles and in our heads
we hear the rumbles of rocky tears and cold stone weeping in desecrated mumbles,
reducing all to pebble and scree and finally back to fine milled dust, everyone,
you and me. So the circle of stone life completed, only to start once again, from
the fragile and tiniest little grain.
