The Michigan Stones

Could it be
the dreams of stones
might be seen with study?

Those smoothed by countless waves caressing;
taking down those sharp old edges
to a place where if one used a watchful eye
they might see something rise to surface;
faint impressions so enhanced
by the artist’s pencil
as to bring a story into being.

We only need to walk the shore
to find such mystery
and open up the story book
to secrets of the sea.

There are lots of stories in stones, that's true. My dad's hobby is geology, and he sees the ancient history in the stones, the glacial times, and where mountains wore down and ocean floors used to be. I see the faces and stories and dreams...I guess the stones communicate in different languages, depending on who is around to listen. I love this poem, and the Michigan stone...thanks for sharing. :)
