Stepping Stones To Tomorrow
By Paul Wilson


Walk upon the clouds
across bridge of doubt
They are the stepping stones
dreamers can’t live without

The key is in your mind
unlock your dreams forevermore
Be the one that ventures
where no one’s gone before

Embrace stars and moon
with words of rhyme
Part ocean waters
one drop at a time

Make a wish on each
grain of sand and star
Stepping stones of clouds
will carry us far

Each teardrop a memory
of past and pain endured
Nothing last forever and a day
immortality we are not assured

We rise to peaks of mountains
and fall beneath oceans floor
Searching for the reason
our inner selves we explore

Walk upon the clouds
across bridge of doubt
They are the stepping stones
dreamers can’t live without

The key is in your mind
unlock your dreams forevermore
Be the one that ventures
where no one’s gone before

The Lady...Glad you enjoyed this.
I guess I am a dreamer, but many times my dreams stay just out of focus...Paul

Yes, you are a dreamer, but dreams can become reality, even if they get out of focus sometimes.  May I suggest that you read "Stepping Stones To Tomorrow" by Paul Wilson!  I did.  And I am trying to follow the advice.  Enjoyed your poem and its inspiration.  Thank you.

I love those lofty stepping stones that you have spoken of so dreamily ~ so eloquently.
