Open Call - Father's Day

Stone Father
Sion Prior
You have a father
I have a stone.
I'm not going to tell you
what my stone looks like
whether it's smooth or rough
whether it's shaped like a man
because I'm tired, and it's getting late.
God gave you a dad
he gave me a stone.
but I'm determined
to find a use for my stone
a suitable function.
I'm determined to appreciate
its shape, its size, its weight,
its solid, unchanging nature
like a distant mountain vista
the sun is setting behind it now.
I will work
to find peace
in this rock garden
before it gets too dark.
