The fool’s journey continues...

The hanged man walks away
in my shoes

I trip tender footed
down my unbroken path
distracted with wonder
at the fool in me

I began to wander
getting lost
somewhere deep
inside of me

A fascinating facet
I find myself
capable of
so much pleasure
and immeasurable pain

I let curiosity
have its way
with me

I have a habit
of not thinking
when I'm feeling
my way along
blind spots

I get carried away
on new found wings
flying too fast
too high
to consider
consequences
of crashing

I have a habit of thinking too much. Which is why I choose to feel, and to fly as free as I need to be.

Great thoughtful poem ebm.

What an interesting way to begin a poem - the hanged man walks away in my shoes.  The other line that caught my fancy was `I have a habit of not thinking when I`m feeling.`
