In Stone

- by Linn Barnes

In Stone
-Linn Barnes

Merrily 
while in fear
we shall cast 
dark shadows

on the cave wall
and spit the image 
of a blinding truth
onto the hardened stone

from colors ground
from plant and stream 
that will reveal for the ages
what has been wrought by lies

and sad corruption for 
the aching world to witness
that our pure time passed here
brought light to a blighted world.
