Soon the stones will lie
               lonely and unsung, no-one to praise

               the strength and beauty
               they’ve brought into the world.


               A Cherokee Indian I heard tell of

               played his flute to the stones, he believed
               each stone had a crystal of silicon
               inside, through which it listened.


               The stones, he said, were like

               lonely old folk, wai ng
               To be sung to.


               Dad speaks at last,
               It’s  me to go, son,

               Best be gone.
