When Stones Speak

By Dwayne Cole

Preface

William Blake saw a world

in a grain of sand.

These sculptures and poems

go inside the stones to see

what centuries have hidden.

Sit with this stone art.

Feel God's tender love and care.

Receive the gift of Peace.

The stone poems,

go inside the stone sculptures

to explain the riddle of life-

Hidden through the ages.

Some stones were plucked from

river beds where rainbow trout came

and whispered secrets.

When picked up and sawed

sparks fly from them, so maybe

they contain light of stars.

Light to reveal the

Mystery of wisdom

written on walls of caves.

Etched in stone commandments.

Sun shining bright.

Star of Bethlehem

Bible stone art teaches

the significance of life-

Jesus is Life.

Gentle Galilean Glories

Healing words of love.

The Glory of God

The Word made flesh

Heaven's Son Shine

As you meditate upon this art, may you come from scars of stones cast, to comfort of stone art, bowing in wonder. Let this be your prayer:

It is by the Goodness of God that I was born into this world in the first place. It is by the Grace of God that I am held every step that I take in life. And it is by the Love of God revealed in the gentle life and tender teachings of Jesus that I am becoming a child of God. Ame
