You took pride in not looking back
So I wrote our milestones on gravestones
Written to a disconnected
Fri                              end

Clocks ticking ever onward
calendar pages turned, anew;
Life's movement and measures
are but waiting for you
Milestones, fresh memories
come, find new treasures
write beautiful stories
Beginning, again...

Once more
these achievements
milestones on your journey
anniversaries, like buoys
mark how far you've come- over life's ocean
through all kinds of weather, you have
safely held together
proven sea-worthy
once more...

There is no hope in curiosity.

It is only through velocity. 

Our willingness to leave our homes. 

Which have turned into prison domes. 

It is only through creating milestones. 

That will lead us through, to feel frenzy in our bones!...

in  the marathon of life
milestones
sprints
coastings
downhills
uphills
the last miles
the most precious
captain of our vessel
guiding it to the finish line
steering
with pride
and determination
going the distance
heading in the right direction

Starting from zero
learning to walk like a child...
A life without you.

unknown path lying
each step longs for your guidance...
No milestones ahead.

let me stumble Dad
I will get up on my own...
a new beginning.

A thousand adventures 
A hundred love stories
Stimulating emotions 
Milestones met in time 

Words igniting the imagination 
Changing their faces
Distorting the lines of reality
Merging minds as one

Style and rhythm 
Rhyme and reason
Time is racing forward
To relive a thousand dreams...

It rained the first day
It rained the last
Tears fell each time
It’s moving too fast

So many days in between 
Victories and regrets
A painfully beautiful time
Another giant step

Once again, I sit and reflect
As the crying sky mourns
I realize how helpless I’ve been
Starting the day they were born...

Life had direction
Purpose always known
Knew which way to head
Knew which way to go

Living in the moment
Walking a certain direction
Knowing the next step
On life’s path of intention

Achieving many milestones
A fulfilled life aglow
The path of direction since ended
Uncertainty now……which way to go?...

After we first found you in the wild-

You reached milestones we never imagined. 

As you become less estranged. 

But still acting a little strange. 

Because you are a cat. 

Cats can be thankful. 

But only when you turn your back on them. 

Cats can be helpless. 

But only when tragedy is near....

Every big goal 
Starts with a single leap
Think about what's your role
Why it matters to you to jumpship
Sometimes, change is courage
Set small pace to achieve milestones
Running though slow is a sure advantage 
Along the way are fires and brimstones
It’s normal to face challenges
They’re part of the journey's praxis....

elemental
              milestones,
contemporary
               reminders
quirky distinctions
colloquial
              watchwords
mundane
            delinations
grandiose
               celebrations
of a 
       down to earth
reality..
           precursor
and
          forerunner
to the final
          overview...

I invite you to see my milestones;
Twisted tea tastes better. 
I want you to understand my goals;
Twisted tea tastes better. 
I want you to be in my life;
But you drink until you steal a strangers sweater. 
I offer you love when you feel alone -
You don't think I"ll worry ever;
But I'm not sure Twisted tea should taste better....

As silence trickles behind, our message is woven ahead. 

We can no longer wait, we must create understanding instead.

This patience we are beginning to lose. 

It is true that our needs have been refused. 

It is too late for some of us, we have already been denied. 

But there is hope for the children, the milestones they shall ride!...

Four
police
escorting, 
a tomato
thrown at her, still she walks with a calm face, 
unperturbed by surroundings, determined 
to bring about 
a change for
good of 
all.

(Preciousness of the Kingdom of God)
MT 13:45-46

Again
The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls
When he finds a pearl of great price
He goes and sells all that he has and buys it.



Reflection
Heaven is a Treasure
Had Rocky milestones and obstacles 
He found the treasure
Walked out on everything
Followed the path to the treasure

The child I could never be- but I was still adored. 

The lost milestones will never be restored. 

The hope for normalcy will never be revived. 

The normalcy that I thought was worth being strived. 

Those habits that I used to treasure. 

That now haunt me and take away my pleasure. 

Those odd ways of mine, are becoming unwoven. 

As has my silence, from now on I am brazen!...

Life is sometimes like a photo when all of your 
experiences get impressed as a canvas.
Some events are never forgotten for the vivid
they are.
Crisis, setbacks, hardships. Challenging 
moments at least once in a life time.

Birth of a baby, weddings, graduations.
Milestones in most of the population.
Life is constant change. You have to go
with the flow.
