In the shadow
of an ancient
massive
mountain range

A small stream,
soft of sound
and continuous,
moves the clear water.

The rounded stones,
brown with age,
are partially or
completely submerged
by the never-ending flow.

In their stillness
the stones of varying sizes
do not shudder against
the relentlessness.

One dark brown stone
stands out,

Not because of size
or particular
beauty.
.
It differentiates itself
by reflecting the sunlight
from the top
of the mountain range

Far above.

From the depths
of the ravine

This one stone
relentlessly
shares the
reflection
of
Eternal Light.
