Edwin Markham

Outwitted by Edwin Markham
He drew a circle that shut me out -
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout,
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle and took him in!

The stone

THE STONE
One who was clumsy tripped on it.
The violent used it as a projectile.
The builder constructed with it.
The farmer, exhausted, used it as a seat.
To children, it was a toy.
David killed Goliath.
Michael Angelo hew it into sculpture.

In all cases
The stone was stone, but the person was different.

There is no stone in your path
you cannot transform for your use.
