Rivers and Stones


When you feel the weight of your task

And despair that you are no closer to its completion

Than when you began

Think of the coursing river

Flowing day after day

Month after month

Year after year

For millennia 

And in it’s time

Grinding the mightiest stones

Into the finest grains of sand

As the waters run inexorably to the sea




(haiku)


Hope after setback

Like stones in flowing waters

Worn yet enduring




Ebb and Flow


The tides 

Ebb and flow

Washing away beaches

To expose mighty mountains

Thus worn by the waves

To stones, thence sand

The great, become little things

Whilst the tides 

Ebb and flow
