    Weighty is the stress
    Stress is a rock
    heavy and unyielding
    a solid blow she delivers
    to the spirit
    a stone’s voyage to river’s floor
    a mighty sledge
    cold and steely
    she pummels the soul
    and is to the mind
    a dream of lead balloons

    I insist that some of the best writers come out of Austin. Maybe because I started writing when I lived there. Ha ha. This is great and so very true

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
