This road
This jagged edge
The sticks are stones
Now broken words
To mend these bones
We are not meant
To live alone

Once I painted a smile face 
on a gigantic piece of stone
slapping blight on a noble face 
some four billion years old.

On one's journey through life,
one must sidestep the stones,
they may trip over,
by not walking the same path as before.

Flowers  sure don't break,
               stones don't ever grow flowers
              Heavenly rains don't rain spirits !

only sticks
the bare will be
covered up soon
leaves that will bud
come alive

but again 
and again and
again all I found

we're
polished stones
along the beach

The Past

Memories are stepping stones
As we journey through the dark.
Shedding light on our journey home
To rekindle with the past.

Jar of Memories

Bits and pieces
treasures in a jar

Shells and stones
feathers and petals

Memories and happy thoughts
of daily walks and time

When against
day’s light 
I tend my sorrows

warming stones
upon my shoulders
lay.

Men and women pour tons 
Of concrete, cement, asphalt, stones
The humble weeds seek the Sun

hard worker being
he really wants that ball
horn stuck on the thorn
happy like the Sisyphus
