Balance Wrestles With Many Things

One with the rock or as fleeting as a sock

Upon this rock I sit still as can be,

Waiting for inspiration to fall at my knee.

None shall befall me if I let my mind astray,

So on this cold morning I've chosen to wait and stay.

Be still my quaking soul for I know you hunger still,

Or is that you my stomach waiting for dinners thrill.

Whatever comes my way I will persevere to the end,

No matter how hard this rock pinches my rump with the bend.

The rock teaches that with time even small things can become big,

Like a belly full of soda after a much deserved swig.

Now my mind is full of thoughts and I can get it to rest,

Perhaps tomorrow I can overcome my cravings and pass this nature test.
