Stone Cairns

I have piled
stones,

one on top of another,
for decades now.

Fingers
slipping over rough
granite
my heart
is settled in
simple tasks.

I have piled
stones of habit
over my days.

Praying is a stone.
Watering herbs
and gardens of flowers
is another stone.

My words have become stones
I pile to settle
my heart.

Long ago,
across the pond,
they piled stones
to find the same
simple way on earth.

There is a rhythm
to rock on rock,
a sound
that fills the
heart with the comfort
of familiar passage.

I bake my bread
and brew my soups
because they are stones
of comfort for
this old man's heart.
