Language of Stones

In the tracery of lichen,
in the cracks between the whole,
the truth of you remembered,
etched eternal in my soul.

Long years have slowly weathered
all the memories I knew,
yet stone retains the language
of love, of loss, of you.

  4. I like this–I’m wondering if your heart has turned to stone because of grief, or if I’m misreading. Regardless, I really do like your writing!

    1. Thank you TriGirl. It’s a fair bit of that, and also a bit of memories failing, but one remaining written in stone.

      Actually, not sure that explanation makes it any clearer. 🙂
