Milestones

A poem written by author/poet Nate Spears describing the overcoming of life's obstacles.

Milestones
By Nate Spears


Like Miles Stones I proceed to walk
With unheard tones
Deaf to my surroundings
I fear I'll never go home

I travel with the latest issues
Strapped to my back
Heavy as burdens
Stones compress to my feet
Traveling to the battle grounds
That devastates me
Passionately searching for a mountain
To overcome

Milestones don’t become milestones
Until they’ve been pushed you far and beyond
Then there forever gone
But we must proceed
To walk on

I walk miles away from the crowd
Away from all the distraction
To a destination far away
Form total disaster

Dictatorship or Masters
Someone has to rule the flock
Rules will be enforced
Becoming a mile of rocks
Being tossed to the lower class of choice

Under my feet rests the top
The skin on my flesh has become tough
Another obstacle has been overcome
Today we have reached another Milestone.

Author's Note

Dictatorship or Masters, Someone has to rule the flock.....

Something written with such feeling is something that will last forever. She who this was written for is lucky. Its not roses and diamonds or Jimmy Choos that really adorn a woman...it's the honest love of a sincere man that does.
A fitting tribute to love and hats off to you my friend for writing wiith such simplicity and elegance!
