forward motion

to know when is enough, to walk 

away unguarded, to know you must 

face the pain of empty tomorrows

don't you dare look back 

up ahead

it's you! 

chasing rainbows filled with 

new promise 

don't you dare look back

Hey You !!!

Here I am away down the Sout Coast and living the life. Dodger is with me and we are spending our days exploring the volcanic coastline, walking through the bush and rolling around on the beach.

As always it is such a treat to have you in my day - and bam here you are today - big smile. Thanks for reading this wee ditty - this one does come from experience and now I am doing my best to live the lesson.

Currently I am sinking deep into the self - shifting my own paradigms. I realise now, as I write to you, that I do this often in my life, you know change things up, and at the time I never think I am any good at it, but then at some point along the way, I remember, I am actually exceptionally good at it.

Must send you some pics - and I shall.

Love you always X

I love poems where the content is more than the number of words the poet uses. Your words allow any interpretation. I have read your work several times to understand it more fully. Greetings!

Greetings gorgeous one - this is one of my more succinct ones and so happy to have you feel your way through - love you for visiting X

We have reached a stage where there are no more career steeps to look for
Now we look for places to visit
The highest roads,
Lowest campsite (In Holland. at the foot of a dyke at minus ten meters below sea level)
furthest away from home

[KWP]

As yet I have not reached that stage - in fact just getting excited by my new role which I start very soon. Love the image of camping at the foot of the dyke ... I haven't camped in a few months but currently hanging out with my dog Dodger on a wee adventure down the south coast of NSW, Australia

We haven't been away for the last two years > I did book some sites. then they had COVID outbreaks close by them
We do live 4 miles by road from two harbours and ten miles from the nearest lake and mountain

Wishes for the new job

[KWP]

thank you - but tomorrow I am hoping to catch the sunrise and suck in the ocean breath - the job - it simply must wait

[jacob erin-cilberto]

this could be talking about changing careers, leaving relationships...
no time or room for regrets...concentrate on what is ahead...

as Boston sang..."Don't look Back"---

a true piece.

cheers Jacob, currently rolling in and out of my own doldrums, but refusing to sink in the marsh - big love your side X
