KEY TO HEAVEN

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.

Last few words: 
We all love to kick stones about, not meaning anything more than enjoyment of the stone.

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

Roscoe Llane,

Religion will rip your faith off, and return
for the mask of disbelief that's left.

I like the imagery, Ann. But like our lives its too short and bitter-sweet.
Excellent write

TIME FLIES LIKE AN ARROW, BUT FRUIT FLIES LIKE A BANANA

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!!
