Each little chip of polished stone,
hold my heart within their gleam.
Of thoughts & hopes in meaning,
holding power of hopes seen.
Every one of them know me well,
they hold so many hopes and sorrows.
Over time they've collected powers,
from my prayers of a brighter tomorrow.
Their bluish hues sing a tune,
of my many unhappy longings.
The sunny yellows, joyously happy,
lift my hopes when spirit's falling.
Who dares say,"it just a lifeless stone?"
"Or a blade of sweet grass,has no past."
"A tree just grows,has no eyes that know."
"A scent on a wind.has no memory to lend."
Dusty steps leaves a foot fall impression,
everything retains a heartfelt lesson.

SO BEAUTIFUL SUSEANN
Even a simple little ordinary stone leaves and impression of it behind. We often overlook such things in this busy world that we live in today.

Power of stones
I have long known the power of stones...a personal power I gifted them with, as symbol of my many reasons to carry them.
There are a few typing and grammar errors in this...it is a good poem and a little fixing up will make it even better.
Thank you for entering.....loved what you had to say in it. -

Very unique piece
Suseann,
This is a very creative read and goes to show how each one of these stones
are steeps along the way a reflection of life itself. You compossed this well.
Love,Me

very pretty. The fact that we can't resist picking them up when we see them must say a lot.

Great write, I too believe in the powers of stones,

Beautifully written poem, Suseann. I'm not certain, but are prayer-stones a custom of Native American culture? I know I read or learned of some such reverence before, but not certain of the culture and background.
This poem just flows with spirituality and the sense of nature, and I truly enjoyed the read, which you are consistently wonderful in conveying in your poetry. Best wishes in the contest, Girl!

Yes,I believe they are.But we weren't supposed to give any native impressions. To Native Americans,all things on Earth,universe and life in general are to be concidered sacred. But that's not what these stones are representitive of. These are prayer stones used in mystic prayers.Thanks NoWayJo for reading & comments.
