Julia Ford Poet Free verse

Stepping Stones

And I am sorry if I hurt you.
But we were balancing on a stepping stone.
One that was beautiful none-the-less

But darling we had kingdoms in our horizons.
That I could not see 
From our little stepping stone.

And now, 
I am forever grateful to you,
For pushing me away from your chest 
And towards my kingdom come.

John Castellenas September 17, 2020 at 10:33 AM I understand the poetry. Sometime we are in the wrong place and need to be released. Sometime the next step in life. Is the correct one. Thank you Julia for sharing the amazing poetry.

Caren Krutsinger December 17, 2018 at 3:42 AM Pure optimism here, not easy to come by after being pushed away from a chest, so I am yelling "bravo!" and Trixie my little muse and I are clapping for this one.
