A Boulder Tale?

Two clay bound boulders in circumstance muddled with one far too quiet and the other befuddled. The younger declared this perch is a prison, I owe nothing to this hill and that’s my decision. The old boulder quipped this perch bears a gift of time earned patience all rolling rock's miss. The young boulder slumped while stirring his thoughts the old boulder was right if you believe that crock. I’ll cry to blue skies and wish them to black releasing rain's right to wash this good grasp. Well, the old boulder quieted and said nothing for years because time had taught him to value his career. The year's gentle blending  turned decades to dim prompting old to stir young with a question again. What is your mind's role in this prison of clay and how is your scheming rearranging your fate? When your mind is freed from your clay trapped stew a shift will release and old becomes new. The young rock yawned and thought secret thoughts while the old one smiled in silence now caught. Now the last time I looked the hill show revealed the younger was bolder and the older much older.
