KEY TO HEAVEN

Poem Body

KEY TO HEAVEN

There are many heavens,
you hold the key to one of mine,
do not lose it on your journey
through the brine.

you are my stone,
I kick you ahead to plumb the way,
the way to places we don't know of
far ahead,

the way on which we burnish
our sharp edges,
straighten bends,
enrich our lives before it ends.

Ann 5th March 2012.

A simple act, and all of a sudden it's also a beautiful journey, made so by your words. Simple beauty. Love Roscoe..

you are my stone,
I kick you ahead to plumb the way,
the way to places we don't know of
far ahead,

I love these lines as they represent how much men mean to us-the women- and how important is their presence in our life

Great write!

You caught the sense of this well,
exactly, the act of kicking the stone,
has many sides to it, but I love to do it!
None of us is all syrup!!

mostly they are solid bones
and
women need to keep them under check
when all alone
