POEM: COMPARISONS

 

COMPARISONS   By Rose Lefebvre©

 

Stones

in my garden,

each placed here,

one by one,

with my own hands.

A few stand

amidst the plantings

like miniature ruins, silent sentinels,

guarding the growth.

Others line the pathways,

guiding,

directing movement,

forming barriers.

Some are large,

standing prominent

among the rest.

Many have rough texture,

others smooth and slick.

A multitude of colors,

blending together

naturally,

adding beauty.

They vary

in size, shape, color, texture.

These stones

are like people

in my life.
