The rock utters a word that I don’t catch
As the wind steals it first and drops it in the sea.
Thereupon the rock resumes its dark rumination
And I partake in the stony silence as I enter my watch.
United in mute vigil, the rock and I
Warm up at last and exchange a wry smile
As the first ray of sun touches the waves.
But no word is uttered evermore.
