THE FALLOW GROUND

A space for reflection — exploring faith, grief, inner strength, and personal renewal through honest writing and creative expression.

Ruminations of a Stone

Eons have passed

I’ve been a mountain

I’ve become rubble

I’ve been formed

I’ve been worn

I’ve been carried

and buried

I’ve been used

and abused

and tossed at a few

I was polished and fitted

and gifted to you

this was far better

than my time in that shoe

My shine has worn off

and then I was cast

to the sea out of anger

still fixed to my anchor

I once was a mountain

and then I was cast

to start again

and eons will pass.

-D. Caulder

Ruminations of a Stone is a reflection to be interpreted by the reader in any manor that they might see fit.
