Being As a Stone (Prima Essentia)

I want to be like a stone      
compact        
hard,        
(pun was non-intended)        
Honest        
solid        
and easily apprehended.        
       
I want to be smooth, but with jagged edges    
and a surface of peculiarities,
not too easily lifted up        
all the while offering a vast set of utilities.        
       
I shall not in the least be easily crushed        
either from stabs and blows by hand,        
and if ever struck to dust I'll reincarnate        
filling my life span now as sand.          
       
With a legacy eternal        
and an existence omnipresent,        
I'll wear through the toughest stains of time        
emerging as full moon from a crescent.          
         
And while my material form is ever-shifting        
my pristinity won't lessen,        
and so won't my ability        
for encapsulating        
that which is life's very essence.      
     While my material form is ever-shifting        
my pristinity won't lessen,        
and so won't my ability for encapsulating        
that which is  
life's
prime
