Among The Stones

by Patty McPhee

I stand among stones

That speak to me

Calling me to dance

To open my sight

To each vision hidden within.

They sing to me

In whispers

That float into my soul

With music that causes 

my toe to tap,

My fingers to tingle

Visions that dance in and out

Spinning me around

Dancing with them

To each tap of my hammer.
