Inside Me.

 

Inside Me..

Substance of rock remembers its core.
Change comes slowly but granite recalls.
With unending patience boulder's vibrations
yield to year's grind of out-facing each storm.

 

There is rock inside me which apes stone.
Same cycles of stasis show mind's vital role. 
By veering courageously toward perseverance    
    I shall gain more endurance and betrayal control.

It seems that you, like so many others have been hurt my friend.. I do hope that was a long time ago now and since then, you have moved forward... I think it is amazing what holds us together in times of adversity and loss and totally get your analogy of a rock which apes stone...

I know you to be a kind and caring soul to others.. maybe at the detriment even to yourself and suspect you may be seen as a rock by those who love you.... a well crafted poem and true... N

Real gratitude for this perceptive comment my friend........ those long-ago lessons remain close as good learning curves if like a rock we refuse to be beaten ........... love holds no grudges, so I believe- - thank you most dearly for your words of concern.
