I am Stone

Wrote a poem on the prompt – Stone

I care not for the tears

that seep through your eyes

Or the emptiness of your days

that scream of pain

I care not for your broken heart

That wails of loss

Trampled and tossed by strangers and kin

Chipped and eroded by lashing winds

Engulfed and hurled by turbulent waves

Chiseled by others’ whims

There can be no remorse in me

For your affliction or anybody else

Used, shattered, cast away

I have had my share. This is yours

Rebuke me for my insensitivity

Chastise me, I care not

For I am Stone –

Unfeeling, cold, impenetrable

A befitting tribute to stone-hearted people…beautifully penned Smitha. This poem reminds me of streams hurtling down the mountains, each push and pull leaving a mark and softening the boulders to convert them into pebbles…Mother Nature can tame all! 🙂

  Thank you so much. Means a lot to hear your verdict on my poem 🙂 I imagine the words in your comment – ‘the push and the pull…softening the boulders.’ So beautiful. Thank you XXX
