Buoyant Power, Seas of Weak

The small pebble  sinks,
The Huge steel ship floats and sails,
lost and  found in waves.

The wow of ballast allows the ships to float, as the pebbles disappear, technology gloats. But history has told, in many a play > ships can sink > and by the pebbles they now lay. Super Senyru Charmaine >> James

WOW, Charma!! Awesome observation of the irony -- the pebble sinks while the heavy ship floats. Says a lot about life, too! Going to my favorites, dear friend! Love, Carolyn
