Where am I?

Where am I?

At the age of forty,

his thoughts started walking,

in his sleep,

five miles a day.

Now in his mid fifties

He has no idea 

where he is.

I think "they have no idea" would be more sardonic, referring to the thoughts having lost the mind.

Good heavens Andrew...mid fifties!? My mother is 91, and just now losing that incredible sharpness and wit of hers...at 55 she ruled the universe...in fact, I took one of her sweatshirts and embroidered "director of EVERYTHING" in it. She accepted it with a wry grin and a wink.

wow good on your mum. This actually wasn't so much losing ones mind rather than the journey of thoughts has extended way over 5 miles now! :) Thank you for your kind words!

[softlyfall]

oh I see, forgive my obtuse conclusion. My journeys are extensive, albeit confined to literature and imagination for the most part :)

[andrew mitchell]

No apologies needed softlyfall I love the different takes on my writes which brevity does incite as I leave the reader to ponder lol.

Dont feel bad i cant even remember my 30s lol

[andrew mitchell]

[Willard Wells]

That the same road I took. The only difference is I have traveled longer. Now at the point, I don't care where I am as long as I have my love and my health. Good luck on finding your way in your journey.

Very nice short verse.

I wonder if you know how romantic that comment is, Willard? Inspirationally so. Now, go kiss your wife.

[Willard Wells]

Thank you and I have given her kisses as she sleeps. I will give her more, then again when she wakes.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you for your kind words Willard you smoochie you! Yes I hear your wife calling you for another....

[Gee]

I was relieved to see the "L" in walking and not an "N" !!!You are down under son,enjoying what should be your most carefree years and entertaining your legions of fans with your scribbles

[softlyfall]

[andrew mitchell]

Good read.. I would just like to point out something ..
It should be "He has no idea" instead of "He have no idea" right ? :)
