Not So Small Stone

'Lift my heart' I cried
send the beat
deep
into my mind.
Smile, smile, smile
though my feet ache with every mile.
Where do I go?
Do I travel too slow?
Do I even Know
where I am headed?
The next moment, dreaded?
Seeds of hope.......
scattered
battered
tumbling like a stone
through the hollows in my bones.
Down a steep slope.
Hope?
