Granite Slumber

Left to sleep,
stones relent
Slowly reap,
time’s regret
Threads weave,
secrets kept

  Thanks! 🙂
  
  I love how black and white puts emphasis on shadows. In a place with so many curves and grooves, it seemed like the right medium. 🙂

  Thanks! It’s not often that a rhyming scheme infiltrates my poetry, but I’m always happy when it does. 🙂

I love the writing you’ve matched with this picture! Especially the title! Very moving. Somehow it makes me think that the granite will one day awake, and as the secret is revealed, it will be unstoppable.

  I could help but think this stone looked like it just laid down to take a nap! Glad you enjoyed the imagery. 🙂
