Do your feet walk pathway along
will you listen to wing bird song
For feet were made to point ahead
not fixed sideways where you stand instead
The paths not trod while standing still
to walk along it takes your will

Even if in wheelchair bound
you roll along to cover the ground
Too easy to sit and say no more
and look at the window instead of the door
Like a babe, first steps are hard
but balance is given if you leave the yard

Door to yard and then the path
if balance is gone, then pick up a lath
It matters not if you seek help
as long as you move without a yelp
For beauty is not seen if you stay in a box
even through the times you stumble on rocks

Let your feet carry away and far
away from the times you stayed in a jar
Open your soul to all that can be
look away as far as you can see
Stand no censure of it can’t be done
the path is there and can be won

(smiles) Yes, yes, we must keep head over heels and continue to walk on, for while we are all entitled to looking deep into our hearts and contemplate to silence, it does no good to stay in the shell forever, for its embracing the world that will cleanse us of our woes! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet fridend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiufl heart, sweet Logan, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

now...at last I read you again, my Gentle friend! I love the message of your poem. I decided a long time ago, that the sometimes the only thing you can do is just get on with it...standing still tends to bore the hell out of me!

So...I leave you with hugs and kisses m'LO, as I stare down at my own feet, I realize I am in dire need of a pedicure...shaking my head here, LAVENDAR nail polish--WHATEVER POSSESSED ME? Love to you!

This makes me think of the time that I stood in a stream of water...the rocks hurt my bare feet, but the water...the water felt so good I would do it again... and I did...

sometimes we have to accept the pain to feel the good...

thank you for the stick...

Logan, this is indeed very true,
and oh so well written.  
I miss reading you here...
please come back, sit by the fire
and talk with us more often.
*Gentle smile & soft hug*

dancing with you in the summer rain~

I could say my feet are surely standing sideways these days. I'm looking down paths and my heart is trying to decide on the easy one for someone else's sake instead of mine. Okay..ramble.. You always write with a voice that makes me smile, Sweet Warrior. You've been missed, and it is wonderful to see you here.


How grave is my condition, for I cannot find the words to say, I need you so.

================================
For beauty is not seen if you stay in a box

================================

and do you see how our feet beat a path to your fire? ...must be we need the warm of your wisdom. Even Mohammed came off the mountain once in awhile


... and I don't know why ...
Why should love come down and just sweep me away
I want to fly ... but there are so many things in my way.
