Out of the Tumbler

Stones from the tumbler
roll smoothly
in the hand;
warm the skin
nestle in.

I’m a tumbler stone
worn down
rounded
cuddley…
after 71 years.

No longer sharp edged:
cutting
pointing
directing.

Now,
circumspect
with shiny wisdom surface.

Wisdom
gathered
by rolling,
rushing in the stream,
open to the sun.

Now
I
run
to
ash.

Surrender to my transformation.

Welcome it!
