Best Stepping Stone Poems

What wondrous goal makes tiny planet Earth
   a stepping stone in life's eternal sea?
What spectral promise gives its journey worth
   as it conforms to cosmic destiny?
What tireless pulse gives rhythm to its flight
   beyond the steady rule of moon...

The day fast fades
the end draws near
our time is fleeting
so brief and so dear

Over and over
I longed for you so
the longing unanswered
and so I must go

I gave you my life
you gave me my death
in very small portions
between every breath

You ravaged my heart
and invaded my mind

because life is limited
men measure the length of life 
using the rulers marked to their own standard;
some cry, some sigh, some worry to death, while others, 
tremble with uncontrollable rage; yet they struggle to stretch 
their life as long as they can and hold onto...

Our frozen bones,
have drifted far from home,
most of our days,
were paved with stepping stones,
set in our ways,
we left it all long ago,
buried alive,
under those stepping stones.

We can’t go back,
no matter how much pain,
there’s no escape,
just days and nights of rain,
long distance calls,
unanswered telephones,
the hidden cost...

Vegetables now ready
Peeled and so fresh
It's potato and Welsh leek
Mm, stepping stone soup
Delicious in taste
Expressive
Wow!...

You know that all you have to do is shout
And I'll be there;
At anytime you find yourself in doubt,
I'd be near.

I'm always the one you come to,
When you're feeling alone.
I'd do anything for you,
But I'm just a stepping stone.

You don't love me
And probabaly never have....

Just a stepping stone
That starts us on our path
Through this journey filled with hope
Of success in which to grasp

Also along the way
There are many ups and downs
But in each of our lives
A purpose can be found

Knowing for our selves
In order to remain strong
Our trust must...

I’ve been robbed of perfection
Then starved for attention
When I though I’d found love
She gave up, without mention

I’ve endured pain for my wisdom
Then lost my mind thinking
When I thought I’d found love
She gave up without blinking

I’ve put my madness in ink 
Then burned it onto paper
When...

It was a stepping-stone,
ten and half years, but a stepping-stone
A woodstove burning on the hill
Distant mountains seen through bare trees
A place of laughter and many tears
Accidents, achievements, love and loss
Flowers and wildlife so wild, but tame
Quietness that settled the soul
Bird songs that brought a yearning...

FAILURES

Failing in your efforts to achieve your cherished dream
Are just the keys to the possible success supreme;
If your steps to reach the peak in the dark hard seem, 
Lift up your spirit, leap forward in its guiding beam;
Unless unswervingly you move to face trials extreme
Reaching...

at the other side of river 
are the stolen roots of healing-moon-giving trees 
left by wayward wind. 
my skin whispers—
wind is traversing to reach the corn field of druid 
for another robbery;
that it’s a good chance for me to be 
a thief and rejuvenate my...

Preparing The Lips for repeated groans
And The Heart for as many moans,
Left long in it one’s contacting phone:
“To whom it concerns I’m pitiably alone!”

Suffering never was a stepping stone
To our Remote-Controlled Throne,
For all its merits steadily overblown 
And at Non-sufferers readily thrown …

Some bit Suffering...
