Musings of a Wordsmith - 12. How I wish I Were...
Out of all the poems I've written, this is one of my all-time favorites, hope you enjoy it.
How I wish I were…
unchangeable, immutable,
immense, stable.
Solid in my solitude,
impassible, endless.
How I wish I could live like a rock
in the vast ocean of time,
an anchor to every move,
a motor to every stillness.
Although, who knows,
maybe everything that moves a rock
might perhaps stir
the apparent lithic immutability
with a vertiginous slowness
able to alter a universe
without changing a single thing.
How I wish I were a stoic rock
to patiently accept the imperceptible
without perceiving the unacceptable.
How I wish I were a rock
to be able to feel life.
