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 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 – “It’s a sign of a educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it” – Aristotle

Speak Your Mind

Please tell me why you whisper

Why not speak right out loud

For you have a voice of vision

That not a thought should cloud

We cannot tell your story

Unless you speak the words

About your hopes for a future

No matter how absurd

For whose to say you’re silly

You might make perfect sense

And the world in all its glory

Could be completely dense.

For fools they seldom differ

And great minds think alike

But the voice that’s starts as a whisper

One day could prove just right.
