Best Set In Stone Poems
Icons Set In StoneHow firmly they stand,
the spires of history
that no one can destroy.
What a curious melange
of hate and love
and yesterday's antipathy.
Indifferent they are,
leaving us their basic legacy--
shining, mocking; it is their heritage,
and the winds of change have no effect
upon a single word.
Within their shadow is enshrined,

Set In Stone
Petrology, geology, call it what you may
Minerals of many are around us every day
Igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic are the main
Their seams grace our planet, they are her veins
The next time you walk your streets, take a look around
For many rocks and stones, are everywhere to be...

Set In StoneLimestone is a funny rock
it’s hard, and rough, and green,
but years of pressure on this stone
make changes most supreme.
Marble appears, quite rough to touch,
but cut and polished bare,
it then becomes most beautiful
of all the rocks we share.
Engravers, then they set to work,
most skilful at their...

Set In StoneHe said their love was set in stone
For nothing could keep them apart
A love like he had never known
Had been written inside his heart
She said their love was set in stone
And nothing could keep her away
A love like she had never known
Was in her heart...

Pages Set In StoneAnd so, a chapter ends…
The story’s been told
Latent messages are sent
Nothing left to unfold
There is no need for second glances
The pages set in stone
Never mind circumstances
It’s essence that sets the tone
So as one chapter ends
There’ll be a new one to script
Surprises waiting ‘round the bend
Bring...

Set In StoneHe is a mystery,
he’s not what he wants to be.
He comes on, with his charm,
just in case.
She tries to slow him down,
to show him some solid ground.
Takes his hand, as he talks
she listens.
Set in stone,
is the ending
set in stone?
He is preoccupied,
divided and taking sides.
Insecure, and...

Set In StoneWhen I was a kid I learned to eat
By ending a meal with something sweet;
Pudding, ice cream, sweet canned fruit –
The need for sweet was absolute.
That craving had been set in stone
When I’m with others, or alone.
My dinner will not feel complete
Unless it’s finished...

Set In StoneAs I lay on my bed sobbing
Not to loud because otherwise I fear he will hear and come
I looked forward to no future
Beyond where he told me all that wasn't
I searched for cracks in what he told
For a second I dared to believe in...

Nothing Is Set In StoneStanding here at the crossroads
I can't help but to feel a little apprehensive
About which path I should take but I just
Can’t stand here after many mountains, valleys
And rivers crossed. I guess it's just a leap of
Faith I'll have to take now where as...

Rose Now Set In Stone....My desert rose has returned to water
home at last is all that matters
no more distant seperation
thirsting now expectation
Butterfly feelings beat their wings
our joyfull hearts together sing
half now whole,soon we'll know
splendor in the field of gold
Each a light to sear the darkness
support to both from all...

Set In StoneChange what you did,
and I’ll change how I feel
You can’t change forever
denying what’s real
The fly’s in the ointment,
the die has been cast
This moment endemic
—predestined to last
(Dreamsleep: February, 2022)...
