Just do It

I love to travel, plane train or car
Distance, name it as long as it’s far.
Watch the billows move the shadows
And ditto for the peccadillos.

I also like to sit at home
Nod my head and my mind to roam.
Dream of things that cannot be
Not for you, but just for me.

Does the extremes seem strange to you?
It’s not you know, it is a coup.
From the limits of myopic
To fantasies of exotic

It’s this I call my evermore
The core of my being and more
Travel the earth and galaxies
From our Kinsey to the flimsy

There is no check or humbles dome
The mind was made to ever roam.

Nope, the extremes don’t seem strange to me Sy. Sometimes I like to be out with lots of people and be very sociable, other times I like to just stay home by myself and don’t even answer the phone. And as for day dreaming….well don’t even get me started. I could daydream my life away!! Good one Sy.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

(sigh) Oh Seymour, I too am always amzed by how we can go so far and so fast with just our imaginations as though we are taking a vacation and actually travelling is only one shade more realistic to that! (big hugggssss) These extremes are so well expressed, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

One round tuit I gift to you
leaving Randy to stir the brew
head on north to party more
Nan is standing at her door...

you leave me words to think and spin
into a world where poets win
when they read the thoughts of you
and sip upon ol' Randy's brew...

Not at all... I'll play hermit for ages... and then I want to GO!!! Destination and mode of transportation unimportant... just as long as it's THERE and not here. *G*

I like this very much, Seymour... may all your travels be as delightful as your words. *S*
