Useless Stone

Looking down

Flower said to a stone

You have hardened 

Even though rains falls on you too

But you have collected minerals 

 Become immobile and silent 

Rather than  

Soft, fertile and flexible 

Why do you even stay here

Why do you resist the water

Stone listened silently 

Said nothing

Days passed

So did many clouds

Sun never failed to shine

Moon visited every night

Reflecting moon light 

On the face of stone

Stone sat there silently 

In meditation 

Night after Night

And then

One night

When

The flower was sleeping

Already tucked 

In its petals

Stone answered :

" I stay here because 

Your roots have made me yours

Its no longer about softness or hardness

Its all about supporting your stem, 

every thing changes my sweet flower

but I stay here because of

 Love in that space

between your soft skin

and my hard self  

You would only be able to feel it

if destiny were ever to separate

the two of us"

Moon followed the moon light

And disappeared 

Sun awakened the day

By kissing its lower lip

Flower opened up its petals

And said to stone

" I dreamt that you were singing to me

How foolish of me 

You are just a silent stone

With out any emotions 

No use to me "
