Steady Stone

Oh fastened, strong and steady stone,

To be as you; forever firm.

Although physically as such,

Mentally as flickering wind,

Two separate states merged as one.

 

Feelings thoughts and knowledge spread,

As wild as the chopping waves,

As scattered as the blinking stars.

Oh steady stone, so definite,

So focused and unwavering.

 

But soon a spark, a catalyst,

To forge my scattered thoughts as one.

Ordered and set, clearly grouped,

The turbulence slows,

Oh steady stone.

 

Wishes have born fruit

Oh steady stone, I've followed suit

Notes

This poem relates to all the craziness of starting high school. There are lots of jumbled thoughts going around, so I decided to write a poem about it. Notice how at the end I rhyme the last two lines. I did that because it is analogous to my thoughts finally beginning to come together. Enjoy, and please let me know what you think of it!
