My Door Step

I kneel upon my doorstep stone
In mental heaves and keeping score
Making keys that I have grown
To open please this mental door

Symbols shaped in different keys
All fit the lock but do not turn
And time has placed me on my knees
In weary that I cannot learn

I’ve watched the rainbows of white light
The butterflies that rest in still
I’ve watched the stars come out at night
Yet still I cannot find the skill

I’ve now been swallowed by the whale
No longer can I see the bend
Just praying in the black of sail
And waiting for a timely end

Perhaps the whale will find the core
And take me to forevermore

How bout the key to me mothy heart...will that work?

*ww*

Writers try to capture the exhilaration of Nature & inspiration of Love.
The attempts may be futile, the endeavors are all things that is poetry.

Oh, please, do not be in a hurry to reach the land of forevermore. You have much to do on Earth before heading off to heaven's green pastures!

Love & God's Light,

I agree with Earth Angel, Sy.
You have much more to do on this earthly plane,
before making any departure!
Your wise words we learn from each day.
Hope you had a wonderful Fourth.

I concur with Linda and Nancy -- you honestly make this temporary world of ours a permanently better place.

You CAN make a difference, but first you should learn how: http://educate-yourself.org/intro.shtml

If you must now place your trust
in all that's green and gold,
go with knowing that you've left growing
souls in search of your path's road...

~*~

We should never keep one from desiring
their destiny, but oh the hearts that
will weep...so please, Sy...while you can?
Keep writing...[personally, I believe it
keeps you young at heart!]

Yes, perhaps.  Hope it is a whale of a lot of love, though........jo

Just think happy thoughts and the vision will have you there right away...magic flows freely from your hand to bring us great delight...take flight, my friend, and let the magic feed your soul....**big hugs**
