Sound and Stone

You live in colour

and all I have shines dull

Turn me to stone

and skip me into the blue

So the salt and sea

can shape me anew

I'll sink into the deep

let the water change my light

Have it bring its shine

to the hidden dark inside

You have so many songs

and I sing just the same

Curl me into waves

and throw me up into the blue

So the wind and sky

can sigh me out to you

Let its sound spill all my truths

wrapped in cotton cloud

with some meaning yet unknown

until you find me out

Is this poem about envy?- Or, might it be a way to compare and contrast lives? I get a sad feeling when a read it. Your ability to evoke imagery and emotions is really a pleasure to find in a writer. Wow!

It is more the sense of not feeling good enough in comparison to another (a significant other, maybe?), not living up to their standard, and hoping the forces of nature can change you into something better because only nature could.

nicely done
I relate to the 'skip me into the blue'
can't count the number of flat stones I've sent skipping away
hopefully you won't be left laying
