Discipline
A huge stone nestles in the shade of a pine tree at the Japanese Friendship Garden, Phoenix, Arizona.
It takes tons of discipline just to be a stone,
Sitting in the sun and rain, sitting all alone,
Sitting there ignored and shunned as the years roll by.
Don’t you wish you were a stone? “No, I don’t, not I.”
~~~ ## ~~ ## ~~
When the old stone sings,
even crows in the pine tree
stop wagging their tongues.

Any whispered word will do, as long as it is fond.
