Stepping Stones

When stepping on life’s stepping-stones
Be careful you don’t break your bones
For heaven is a far, far piece
Especially to sign a lease

It lies within a special place
As fragile as mantilla lace
A place of rainbows hew on hue
Of butterflies and mornings dew

Each stone goes up into the sky
They flow forever to the eye
Each one a pain each one a strain
Each one a level and a plane

The stepping stone a life in climb
A mixture of the minds entwine
It has no resting place to stay
It’s a one on one each day.

But do not make too much of one
Until the paradox is done

Wonderful pearls of wisdom as always this beautiful sunny Sunday.
Sit and have Chai tea with me?

I saw the rise of stones to sky
and thought I caught a glimpse of eye
who winked at me with cheery grin
inviting me to step right in...

but slogged was I in clay of earth
seems that I still have some birth
of ideas to bring to others, see?
So woe oh woe, I cannot flee...



Good morning, Sy!!!

lovely weaving of language and images...the sounds bless the ear

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I dont know about stone..but i know you ROCK and it rolls me

Im digging your minds entwine all the time.

gee SY

my back hurts too from those stones
they could at least make them easier to climb - you know?  But, then again
we are speaking of life . . .

I loved this SY
always do

(smiles) Oh Seymour, this is beautiful, sweet friend, if the mountains truly exist and can climb to such heights, surely we can live to climb and see the heavens soon enough as rocks too can speak volumes! (big huggggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
