Stepping Stones
Each step has a promise
Each stone another inch
Taking me farther and farther
To where I am meant to be
Some are small and easy
Some I can't leap through
Each one is a lesson
To survive through
There are many who cross
Who can be a barrier
They can try and hold me back
Blinding me endlessly
Fighting and keeping on
Is the only way to be free
Through the pit of fire
That has shown itself to me
There are many twists and turns
That I can't see at first
They always take me on a new adventure
To where I am meant to be
In the end we will all be set free
Wild birds that have been caged
For years dying to forever be

I loved this poem and the photograph. Your words seem to describe me so well a few years ago! Have bookmarked as a favourite + voted up - excellent poem!
Just keep laying those stepping stones, as you cross, remembering that they were somehow miraculously laid for you , so in exercising this beauty , lay at least one for your fellow man.
Love when you place your deep thoughts on here in poetry.
Bless.
I loved the way you compare life with stepping stones. Beautiful poem. :)

Interesting netaphor- stepping stones to get through issues one step at a time..interesting how true, "The journey of 1,000 miles begins with 1 step"-maybe Confucious Lao Tsu...
