STOPPING
STONE
Here we have a stopping stone
a place to pause and be alone
Take it in your hand and stare
at nothing in particular
Rub it clean and roll it round
watch it tumble on the ground
Chuck it, kick it, lob it high
catch it falling from the sky
Thank it humbly for today
let it go, be on your way
Tomorrow someone else will pause
have their day, and think of yours
