The gift

A gift of stone
So you know you are not alone
Through our night and then the day
I am there with you always
An eternal ring
Symbolic of every thing
Light a new candle from a dying flame
Share the joy and the shame
Is there a way beyond
The acrimony and bonds
The stillness in the heavens
We know not where or when
Time, my friend, the curves and bends
The golden tomorrow that never ends
The power and majesty
The grace and mystery
The knowledge and faith
The open gate
