Pebble
in the sand
Rolled
and smoothed in natures hand
Pushed
and pulled in ebbing tide
Glistening
whilst flowing waters fight
Pebble
in the sand
Tossed
around by another's hand
Rides
once more the crests and waves
Sinks
again to the fisherman's grave
Pebble
in the sand
Caressed
again in playful hands
Edges
smoothed amid summer storms
Rides
the waves of life reborn
Boulder
on the hill
Worn
smoothed in warmth and chill
Splintered
from the stagnant rock
Immobile
now just taking stock
Boulder
on the hill
Weathered
stone patiently still
Settled
in its resting place
Stands
tall and proud with stoic grace
Boulder
on the hill
Bordered
with a fragrant frill
Soaking
up the summer rains
Solid
rock through life's hurricanes
Rock
astride the stream
Braced
against the tidal screams
Deflecting
ripples of the world outdoors
Stands
fast and strong amid the roars
Rock
astride the stream
Pushed
and pulled by hands unseen
Rigid
calm amid life's disorder
A
solid point in cascading water
Rock
astride the stream
River
guardian stands supreme
Proudly
defiant amid the flotsam of life
Pillar
of strength in a world full of strife
