Iona's Stone

An ancient stone fence encircles the Abbey grounds
where saints and pilgrims have walked for millennia
As a young islander repairs the wall,
he fingers a single small stone
as if it were a precious gem
He fits it into a small gap with great care
I am that small stone,
a part of the timeless fabric of this blessed place.
