The lure of stone and wood

Nature, at it’s best

Created stone and wood

Two completely different items

Yet similar patterns, there is no doubt.

Waves of lines

Bedding planes

Versus

Growth rings

And wood grains

Mimicking each other

Colours in light to dark

The beauty of our natural world

Really is quite stark

Take away the dirt and bark

Get to the hidden depths

And Wood verse Stone

I could not choose

Fast compared to slow

Nature’s polar opposites.
