...
I feel the stone
and through the stone the earth,
and my past,
and my future,
as I am grounded in my present.
in the ridges and hollows,
are the rise and fall of my heart,
as I live out my destiny.
to tell of the stone.
to tell of the earth.
to tell of the journey,
my journey on the surface of the stone,
I am but a dust mote
pitched from place to place
on the whim of the wind.
I scatter some seeds of poems
to be carried on the beaks of birds,
to be mixed in the whispers of the wind,
for the one who will hear my message,
and come to me bearing treasure.
the treasure of truth,
in that one line
of love.

Jaymesha unverified person, that's like being homeless..
ROFFL... your syntax is all wrong, this is not a website, this a microsite within a website, if you're going to berate someone in public at least get your facts right.
Such lack of knowledge is embarrassing.
Hubpages is a very successful concept with millions of hits and thousands and thousands of users, when you have climbed out of the hole you live in let us know the url for your successful website and we will be glad to go and post suitable comments.
In the meantime fuck off....
Oh BTW I see you are close to Tyler, TX, 75701 - you might want to have some manners....
Regards Drax
This was absolutely beautiful!
thank you very much Eyes...
Dear Drax, thanks for becoming a fan! i have read several of your poems and I think this is my favourite. I am half Irish by the way - my mother's parents were from Donegal. Great to have an Irish fan! No i have never fed chickens but i enjoyed the poem anyway. We share some favourite poets - Rilke and Neruda and Akmatov. The others i shall look up. Very happy to have you as a fan! I shall go on reading your site - I am very intrigued!
thanks very much for the lovely comment Donna, Donegal is still one of the few places left in Ireland where the old Ireland holds sway and people have time to talk to you... Regards Drax...

Hey Reyna thanks very much for the comment...the stone for me is an essential thing since it provides a way to remain anchored.. to think about important things and try and stay ahead of the posse.. :-)
Hey Elizabeth...it is always lovely for a poem to be used and for a credit to be given... thank you very much.. :-)
Hey Elizabeth i looked at the blog there and it is too commercial for me so I have removed the comment linking back there...
