One Stone Is a Fortress

A stone is sitting in solitude underwater while others play
Solitude is gainful,   a finding of one’s inner qualities
Those qualities surface that may have been unclaimed
It is then that the integral source of contentment will exceed
beyond defeat or discouragement and surface in the darkest of times .
The stone will watch while others play
but when it becomes dark  the stone will prevail.
That stone has a fortress of amour in the event of adversities
to which  it can  become steadfast and not be disturbed  by  encounters.
the water will roll over the stone while others will wash away.

How true my friend. We all stand against the current. Some of us will stay while others wash away. Have a great day.
