A World of Stone

Trapped within a world of stone,

where emotions have no place to land.

Lacking direction like a static ball.

No footsteps to trace in the sand.

Anger rages as people’s hearts turn cold,

with no growth or warmth to guide their way.

Climbing desperately in seeking freedom,

but the coldness seems to stay.

What hope lies in a world like this?

Where hearts are frozen and minds are cold?

Can love be found within our souls?

Or will darkness age with our growing old?

A flower dares to creep out of the cracks

as the people gather from all around.

This bloom is like a flicker in the night.

It’s a subtle word emerging from the ground.

As smiles begin to spread like wildfire.

Laughter breaks years of silence.

For within this world of stone,

hearts gain resilience.
