Spend some time alone in introspection Weigh yourself against the status quo Suddenly you’ll realize on reflection Every body’s going with the flow To stand alone while others hurry faster Requires a steady lean against the rush And like a rock within a stream of falling The shelter you provide will be a rill A place for life to feed and spawn or rest A haven for the sands of time to fill Mayhap a seed will tree to hold a nest
