SPEAK NOT THE WORDS
THAT SINK
LIKE STONES
TO REST FOREVER
IN A POND

UNMOVED
BY WAVES
AND SPLASHES IN THE SUN

THEY HOLD THEIR PLACE
BY GRAVITY AND THEIR OWN HEAVY WEIGHT

THOUGH THEY MAY GATHER MOSS
CHANGE COLORS
LIE UNSEEN
THEY WILL NOT CEASE THEIR PRESSURE
NEVER COME UNTHROWN

SPEAK NOT THESE WORDS!
