Put your faith in stones

The world around you is soon outgrown

And at times you seem to find yourself alone

In thoughts that swamp too easily

Like a seeping wound, a carried disease

But it wont’ last too long, a week so they say

Its fierceness grows in the heat of the day

And in that time you can find a way

To recover, relax and contemplate



Put your faith in stones

The only ones you’ve ever told

Quick to betray

But you must behold

Put your faith in stones

The only ones you’ve ever known

Quick to leave

But you have to watch them go



Time passes in certain ways

Mirrored by the movement of waves

Some coming quick rushing to shore

The longer grow, these are ones to endure

The time sucking out energy as does the tide

Only to race back in the blink of an eye
