A heart of stone
Found by
Muddy clay
Embedding
Entwining
Infusing
Wrapping itself around the heart
Becoming one
Cementing together
Softening
Becoming stronger
No longer two-dimensional
Now with layers and texture
Folding over
Permeating
Mixing
Sand and clay and mud and stone
Stone
Stone softening
Stone melting
(How can this be?)
Morphing
Changing
Something new
Something whole
Something resting
Scared? Less so
Liberated
Released
At peace
Soon

Lovely poem. It’s always good when stone softens around the heart.

There’s something wonderfully geological and scientific in this poem whilst it’s deeply rooted in emotion and feeling. A really unusual style and subject matter that I thoroughly enjoyed. 🙂

Thank you! You have no idea how incredibly happy I am to read your comment (me being a bit of a nerd and you mentioning the geological aspects of the poem). You just totally made my day. Thank you for reading!
