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
Enjoyed reading them
