A rock's gift

A rock’s gift
Smooth and round,
Its beauty replete with times wearing,
Sitting quiet among other stones,
Yet different if only a little,
Its neighbors’ so much like itself,
Obvious it seems, but no truth therein
If time is spent in scrying its surface
Soon it seems unique in what is etched on the surface reveals,
Reflecting back what is only projected from within.
A pleasure to hold,
Its coolness refreshing,
Bringing to mind soothing thoughts
Of peace and oneness with what is around me.
Such is a rock’s gift to those who take time to observe.
