Among the stones of sand
By: darrell phillps on 1/8/2005; 1:03 PM






Scattered remains of fragmented mountains
Strewn in patternless patterns in uptown yards
Concrete children play unmoving among them
As the glasshouse flora stands guard



Winter approaches, the petal sentries depart
Into humbling states of composting composure
Leaving the stones with no counterpart
To make clear their outstanding exposure



Concrete children never grow up
They just stain from the frost and black rain
In season of sleep when the garden is grim
The children frozen stealthy hide their pain



Wishing wells pool in the dips of the rocks
That were birthed from grains washed in sea spray
In renaissance Spring, life awakens once more
Among the stones of sand that cannot roll away
