The Mountain and the Wind

Ponder this if you will.
The Mountain and the Wind which is the best?
The one with energy or the one with rest?

In the Mountains defense, its got common sense.
Steady support of the rock, immovable.
Strong will to remain the same, unflappable.
So very tall, looking over us all.
Imbued with pride in his strength, unbeatable.

The Wind has it's moments too.
He saves the gentlest caress for you.
He may be fickle but terribly honest.
He doesn't care to be the best.
He doesn't need a reason.
Just an impulse and a season.
Young, energetic, incorrigible.
Lively, free, unstoppable.

But can the Mountain crush the Wind?
Crush what cannot break but only bend?
Can the Wind move the Mountain?
Whisk away, what does not yield?
Both are good but which is the best?
The familiar stronghold, or the one on a quest?
