Stone

Stone.

Rock ,hard and flinty.
Dislodged from some cliff,
Somewhere.
Eroded and broken.
Trying to hold onto
Your protective shell.
Hoping to stay whole and hiden.

Maybe the sea,
has lashed you upon the shore,
and pounded you.
Tide upon rock.
Rock upon rock.

Now you lie exposed
your innards bared.
That nice white shelll severed,
your hardened centre, naked.

It is ok.
Really.
That dappled marble core.
Rugged and rich.
Why did you hide so long.
