Set In Stone Poems

Set In Stone

Change 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)

My First Priority Is Me

If theres one thing i know 
That's set in stone
Is that you can't be
Everything
To everyone you know
So just be you
If their expectin more
It's time to let them go

Ten Things Set In Stone

Ten things set in stone,ten gifts of love from a father to his own,ten guidposts along life's road,ten points of light in the night,ten ways to know wrong from right,ten principles to follow,ten to share,ten things to bring you closer to he whom is always their,ten ways to go wrong,ten ways to go right,ten ways to know ones only chance at life is with the holy son,he who has come to fulfill not destroy,for you to go to your knees in repentance a broken soul,then to rise up clean and knew filled with peace,love,and joy.Ten things setu in stone.

Set In Stone

Limestone 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 art
and make this stone a record
of the best we hold to heart.

On plaques and gravestones, memories kept,
for all who come to see,
this noble stone will carry forth
mankinds’ long family tree.

Nothing Is Set In Stone

Standing 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 in the past
You may of held me back...I'm no longer the
Person I used to be, believe you me!
I've come to embrace the future without fearing
Tomorrow 'cuz I realize now I will survive until
I am no more and nothing is set in Stone, be it
Love or war! 
Everything is in transit, constantly changing 
Each and every minute of each and every day, 
I just have to remind myself from time to time
Joy is the absence of worry. It’s all in God's hands
Now and whatever will be will be!
When you learn to let go of yourself it only
Allows you to be what you may become. 
Everything has a place and a time and no nothing, 
NOTHING IS SET IN STONE!

Set In Stone

He 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 unsure,
laying the blame.

She’s seen his kind before,
they’ve shaken her to the core.
It is done, as she runs 
over the edge.

Set in stone,
Is the ending
Set in stone?

He writes his poetry,
escaping reality,
As she heals, he feels
they are broken.

All alone,
she left him
all alone.

Set in stone,
she left him
set in stone.

All alone,
is the ending
set in stone?

Icons Set In Stone

How 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,
the totality of every lie 
and every truth we ever knew.
Tread softly in their midst--
It is rarified companionship they offer.
Dare we even to essay to smooth the path
historic footsteps made, 
or cleared the way for ours?

There is no answer from the silent skies.
It is the empty flagon of serenity,
the hopeless void that stretches out forever,
calling forth the meditator to his bench,
and time to its eternal rest.

Set In Stone

He 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 to stay

The love they had only seemed to grow
Now that their kids were grown
They knew one day the world would know
Their love was set in stone

Now married for almost sixty years
And not one day was spent alone
A lot of laughter and very few tears
For their love was set in stone

They buried the couple the other day
On their marker these words were shown
A Love like this rarely comes this way
For their love were set in stone

Set In Stone

When 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 with a treat:

Cake or fruit pie, a la mode;
Worth the sugar overload.
Licorice or Hershey’s kisses
Join the list of never-misses.

Halvah, gummies, chocolate raisins,
Toasted nuts with honey glazin’s;
Cobblers, cookies, lemon tarts,
Any sweet that’s off the charts.

All I need’s a bite or two
To let me know my meal is through.
Dessert is a necessity
And always will be so to me.

Pages Set In Stone

And 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 new challenges to writ

~*~

Have hope...World without end...new beginings...life evolving...infinite

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 found
Where would we be without them, many structures would never be here
If it wasn't for many millions of years, and this beautiful earthly sphere

Set In Stone

As 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 something 
Wished for a world where he was dead
And I was free to be more

As I woke and tentatively walked into another of his days
As I tried not to ignite the alcohol this morning he had drunk
Tried not to become entangled in another of his vindictive webs 
I held the dream of what could possibly

As I lay trapped beneath his feet
As what he swore fueled my tears
As I tried to escape the hardest punches
With the very tip of my fingers I held on to hope

As he told me my future was set in stone
As expertly he picked away any sense of self belief
Through the shouts for all the reasons I didn't deserve to exists
A very different cast was being created

As everything he said and done
Rests now in all he touched
I can see the only thing that has been set
Is all he lost
All he failed.

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 the madness
as seperate lives we've learned plenty
now together we're surely ready........
....a rose now set in stone.....

Set In Stone

Set in stone
This is 
The way I am
I dare you
To try to
Change me
Enjoy the battle
I know you won’t
