Excellent haiku Joan. A perfect "everyday" observation from nature with a powerful application to the human condition.
I also like how the "shape" of the poem has been also eroded, to a 5-4-4 syllable count, matching the subject.
Clever and profound. Great poetry Joan.

Lovely evocation of the healing power of time. The image of erosion through the use of water and stone is a perfect fit.
