Paving Poems - Poems about Paving

Poets are the ones who began the conversation, their word paving the way for philosophy

Poets are the ones who began the conversation, their word paving the way for philosophy,
Parmenides, with his poetry, laid the foundation of thought, bringing philosophy into the light of consciousness,
But then the paths diverged, poets continuing to reveal truth through metaphors and rhythms,
Memory and nostalgia woven into verses, in enjambments that flow continuously,
While philosophy created

Paving the Way

A poem a day helps pave the way
For feeling I’ve succeeded
In keeping apathy at bay,
A nourishment I’ve needed.

Since most of us have such a crutch,
(It needn’t feature writing)
We might agree that just a touch
Of habit keeps us fighting.

We don’t need others to approve,
For they can never measure
The joy our choices do behoove
To bring us daily

As He Began Paving His Way

When he entered college that fall,
The light of knowledge cast its ray.

Over his young mind as he grew.

To make sure that his dreams came true.

He learned how to stand proud and

Paving Paradise

Big yellow taxi
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
And all I got
Was this tie died t.shirt
My washing machine cleansed 
And a 2nd hand scratched record
On which a needle jumps 
To the beat of a Trump oval office
West Wing
Whitehouse 
Partitioned 
Behind  a Wall

The Paving Stone

The paving stone sits like a stone 
Alone at the side of the street 
It has no eyes, no ears to hear 
It cannot feel the passing feet 
Tears and fears and threats and conversational discourse 
Cannot move the slab that submits to only force 
Too heavy to ride the tide of human emotion

Paving the Way

Positioning yourself to travel the path 
of a vision that's larger than you, 
Overwhelmed with the task, 
yet prepared to accept the challenges
of something new. 
Appreciating your persistence and dedication 
but most of all your will, 
Willing to step out on faith 
believing that dreams become real. 
Encouraging others to make that stand, 
by refusing
