A Circle of Stones
By Paulette Callen
An Animal Rights Poem from All-Creatures.org

For Dian Fossey, 1932-1985

A circle of stones
On a misty mountain
Marks the grave
Of a difficult woman;
And before its next great adventure
A spirit lingers for awhile,
Mingling with the mist,
Close as breath
To the great gentle ones she loved
And refrained from embracing in life.
