Little Things

The little things are cobblestones
They lay their path before my bones
They hold me up upon my way
Through night and through my living day

They are the sturdy of the worthy
The filigree of wonders earthy
I see the hanging spite and trite
Yet morning is a sheer delight.

Dew adorns me with its cloak and
Laces me like giant oak and
Sky lends color to the sweep
And I am caught in heavens reap

These cobblestones that hold my bones
Are spaced with music’s overtones
They are the force beneath my weak
And lead me in my heavens seek

Without them I would sail a sea
Of doldrums and of ennui

I broke the verses up because those couplets are just way too cool...they need to be savored each on their own gifts of wisdom and clever poetic endeavor. Only you could take "cobblestones" and turn them into a yellow brick road.

*ww*

Well I cant say what I might believe ...
but if God made you ... he's in love with me.

Perfect...just perfect,Sy.
I also like Janet's suggestion on breaking up the couplets. Each one is so very special.

Dance along the cobbles, Sy...

You are the sweetest.

passing,
You are a love.

My Earth Angel,
And I do mean the MY. Since you were in Angels hospital I could'nt get to see you.
But while you were gone I did get to put some early poems together in the form of a small book and if you send me an Email with your address I'll send you a copy. After all I did promise I would.

I had a great-grandmother who told me in a thick brogue, "Both God and the Devil are in the details."

The older I get the more I understand the value of the little things in life.

Great write, thanks for sharing it!
