Touchstone

what it means
what it means is
standards
a line drawn
somehow, someone
is to go on
and reach a
benchmark
for that it what it
means
somewhere
where someone
has hung
all his dreams

touchstone

but if I don’t meet
your criterion
or pass the acid test
please don’t lower
the standards
but choose
someone
who would best
suit the needs
of one as you
while I go on my way
today

touchstone

and I shall then
become the one
with heart of stone,
‘tho wise,
until someone
who might touch
the stone come
to realize

the woman that I am

touch stone

to be a touchstone. . . one must not be of rock. . . but be a rock. . .
