1
To hold a round, smooth stone,
the shape of an egg in your palm
is tranquility. Its silence
a sponge.
2
When what you wanted to hear was
I love you or the voice of God
when you prayed in the evening;
this is fortitude.

As you realize this world is
a magnificent kingdom and though
this life may end with extinction
you must learn to be blissful.
4
So much happiness twined within
our genes, we can harldy miss
the inner kindness and beauty-
even the smooth, round faces of stone.
