I am the Water and the Stones

IMG_5504

as my postures and prides and prejudices

are exposed

the water has access.

the water wears them down

patiently

purposefully

wisely.

as I wince from the pain of yesterday’s sharpness

I know the stones have less edge today

and will be smoother tomorrow.

I stumble through the stones

forgiving their youthful crags

stumbling with a willingness

to wait for the water to come in its own time.
