formed within their stone – v9


within their flesh, their bodies
their true self within them
a gem, a sculpture
formed within their stone
there before their beginning

who they will be
the truth of their being
a carving, a writing
formed within their stone
there before their beginning

already finished
the temple, the sculpture
a flower, a painting
formed within their stone
there before their beginning

only to be revealed
wooed from the stone
the sculpture of their essence
formed within their stone
there before their beginning
