| James Dillet Freeman If Stones Had Tongues If Stones should find a tongue, What would they say to me? Would they deliver sermons About tranquility? I think that being tranquil Is more than being still, And so I think their silence Is not of their free will. Although stones seem to stay As in a solemn trance, I understand their atoms Perpetually dance. And so if stones had tongues, I would not think it strange If they gave learned lectures About the joys of change. Copyright, © 2004, James Dillet Freeman |
