A Restless Stone

“Why are you running” ? said the stone to the flow

“And when you leave here just where do you go” ?

“Little stone don’t ask questions

For can’t you see

I’m off to that place that I’m meant to be”

“Then can I come with you ?

Can I hitch a ride ?

To take me away from this bleak mountainside”

“Alas you’re too heavy

To wander with me

As I travel quickly way out to the sea”

“Oh please I’m so desperate to just get away

And roll in your current who’s joys you display”

“Here little stone I’ll give you a push

Over this cliff top and into my thrust

But then I must leave you without further delay

As I gather up speed upon my sweet way”

So the stone it did fall as if out of the sky

While glancing off others as it passed them by

Until in a blink it just came to a rest

On the banks of a river were it lost all its zest

For then in that moment, it found its sweet home

With others just like him so he was not alone

Thought to Ponder – If you look on the floor and see a stone you must ask yourself, has it always been just there or has it come from somewhere else. Unless you put there it is probably impossible to tell PTT
