Cut to the Quick

These grey stones that cut to the quick,they send us their imploring cries.Echoes of stories long dead,but who yet still are very much alive.Do you choose to discard their tales?Or use their etchings to draw on your own heart?Ancestors of old who once lost their way.Wounds that cut deep from the start.
