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 |

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 =========================== 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 ... |

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 ~*~ Dance along the cobbles, Sy... that we will always hear the music of the stones. |

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! |
