Stones
I see stones in the meadow
burning under the summer heat.
As the withered prairie grasses bend over them
The complete shedding of ones' flesh begins.


The heartfelt prayer of this man
has been answered.
The beginning of the end
and the end of the beginning
has come into season.


No more desires of the heart
Only the epoxy of my soul remains,
My earthlife course has been designed
completed, arranged by you Lord.
Even before I was born
this has been so.


How marvelous are your works my Lord!
I am but a foreginer on this earth..
