Touchstone

I have taken
many measures
some are not the norm

so many yet
lay before me
in another form

I gauge each step
a self-admitted test
will I meet a criteria

and come forth with my best?

There are many standards
four thousand yardsticks
cannot scale

a reference point
a beginning
a touchstone regaled.
