Premium Member MILESTONES

Every milestone we meet is wonderful
but upon further inspection…
Every milestone is just a reminder
that we are heading in the right direction

Premium Member Abebe Bikila

Blisters from shoes, hampered his speed
Banters from foes, sauntered to bleed
Ran barefooted, marathon booted
Ethiopia on his feet, milestone in feat.

R and U

Tragedy does not triumph over justice
Justice survives after the tragedy
Tragedy is only the milestone of justice
Justice is eternal, tragedy is momentary.


Take My Cloak a Milestone

Death does error, rejoice like men of hope                                                                   
Friends can cope, prayer, cold here take my coat

memory recall if we choose to stall
which milestone then will our heart celebrate 
knowing that waves that rise will in time fall
love alone not subject to fickle fate

     A birthday is to savor
        celebrations never lose their flavor

Premium Member Ants

I see an ant crawling along the train platform.
We are like ants in the universe's vast form.
Life as hard as stone, like this ant I am alone,
But I know I will return home, each milestone.

Premium Member Zen Mode

the milestone attained
a benediction bestowed
so in midst of celebrations
bliss drenched soul presence 
recognising ephemerality 
pulsates in nonchalance 
as during a downturn
watching life unfold

One Month On

Silence, is the enemy
In my grief
When occupied
I feel no pain
What's done
Cannot be changed

A month has passed
The milestone
Weighs heavy on me
As I think it should
I'm provoking myself
To define, normality

Arrived alive departed dead and the same may be said of all who tread this weary world of ours less a milestone more a speed bump each Birthday I perceive and poetry is but one way to fill the waning hours for me

Deeper Footsteps

The trail of my passing
  the joy and the tears

Each memory a milestone
  to mark every year

That road undiscovered
  lay before me ahead

With faith as my guidepost
  —deeper footsteps to tread

Premium Member Artemis II

A journey landing in December
Road to the Moon of wonder
Trip of four to remember
East of Eden fonder
Milestone is in the offing
Instilled dream becomes a happening
Strobe lights showing and playing

Second-scheduled mission, but first crewed...

Premium Member 3 Games In Candyland

Another milestone,
I played my first 3 games of Candyland with my grandson:
The first game, he reached the magic castle first
with a slow and steady climb,
The second game was all mine; he was the victim of a backward slide.
The third game, he took a shortcut and was disqualified.

Premium Member Zero Days

When I have zero days -
a chill fills the hearth, earth-pillow’s under my moan;
hushed hallways.

Of zero hours -
can’t hear them pray, the silent tone
devours.

The tick -
seconds to own…
sick.

My soul follows the blaze.
Unlatch the pearly gate - milestone
click.

Premium Member Poem Number Fifty

I've tallied my poems up 
and this be milestone of poem number fifty.
So this triolet is a small victory dance
I've tallied my poems up
the love of poetry is a small romance.
My goal is 100 poems, then a published book.
I've tallied my poems up
and this be milestone of poem number fifty.

Our Journey

When Life’s milestone we reach
journey thus far has much to teach,
It is Life’s co-traveller’s imprint
that marks the journey in our stint,
She spreads the joy that Life bestows  
and stands by when Life bangs its blows,
As we walk together hand in hand
let our Love for each other expand.

Dream

Dull though life may seem to the very young -
Rewards await those on the bottom rung.
Each step marks a milestone that is well done -
All who reach and say,"Yes, that is the one!"
Make that your "dream" and climb away, my son.

My Brother Jude

Yesterday we celebrated Jude
Fulfillment of long past milestone
Identifying with Chritus the Bona
A mission, in humanity, for humanity
Yet the path still unknown
Like all men as we are eternally
Yet the Most High shows, teaches, guides
For them that seek Him, He reassures
For to Him is all destined!

Poem 2

I promise to love you
I promise to kiss your knees when you fall
I promise to hang every picture you make 
I promise to come home every night 
I promise to see every milestone a father should see 
I promise to never break my promises
I promise to always be your father 
But I never promised I would stay

Premium Member Four Decades

Turning to the fourth decade of life is 
A milestone in which you had reached the
Maturity to cope with the buffetings that life
Presents as an awe enigma waiting to be
Resolved and approved to pass with high honors

recently orphaned adult

seven billion living souls
yet i am from no one

disquieting thoughts
elusive sleep
my children make me smile

shared joy with
