momentum

How do you stop
A rolling rock
Rolling steady down a hill
With each turn
It gains momentum
Crushing wildflowers and dandelions 

How do you yield 
An object unaware 
Of its mass or power
Spinning recklessly through time

Only a fool would interfere 
Its undetermined destiny

Free to roam 
A path of solitude
Led solely by the dim light 
Of the loyal moon
The single, silent bystander 

All it takes 
Is a shift in weather 
And its path is changed forever
