Stone on Gentle Slope

Written by DragonHug --- Stone sat on the same spot as always. It was a good spot, near the edge of Gentle Slope. And Light warmed. And cool Dirt wrapped all around. Stone was happy to be wrapped all around. Stone on Gentle Slope --- There were no other stones there. Stone still had lots of company, for there were Grass around Stone on Gentle Slope. Grass grew evenly, and rustled and swayed in visiting Wind. Stone was happy with Grass and Gentle Slope. Stone and Grass on Gentle Slope --- One day someone new visited Stone. Someone very low and slow, almost as slow and still as Stone, and just as low. Shadow had come to be with Stone. Stone was happy to be with Shadow. Stone and Shadow Stone and Shadow on Gentle Slope --- Shadow was thin and long. But Stone was round and short. Shadow was not always around. But Stone always was. Shadow liked the shade over the bright. And Stone liked both Shadow and Light. --- Cloud sometimes borrows Sky. To try and change to every shape. And to help Rain climb down. And Rain climbed down, and greeted almost all, rinsed and cleaned and grew and lulled. And Shadow knows those who were not. --- Stone could not see Shadow anymore, but as soon as Rain and Cloud waved bye, and Light and Sky came back. So did Shadow right there, in the new and neat shade. Stone was happy and Shadow was too. Shadow and Stone Shadow and Stone on Gentle Slope --- Shadow came and went again. Stone was always there. Light knew Sky and Sky knew Cloud and Cloud knew Rain and Rain knew almost everyone, and Shadow knew everyone else, and Stone knew Shadow... on Gentle Slope
