I’m dizzy from the round-about I thought to not play on and how like me to ring the bell I thought to not ere hear but thoughts they come a-racing down a one-way street determined like a mad man to maim if not to kill whatever’s in their path. To wait on the sidewalk is to know there’ll be an accident that up-turns all my thoughts and leaves them there for dead. One-way streets are hazardous for the stubborn and inflexible and so I know to tap, tap, tap, to the harmony within while waiting for that accident that surely will occur. And the driver of the means to maim and reconstruct or kill and resurrect simply a “me” waiting on the sidewalk unseen, invisible! Helen / 24 May 2009 |

Honey, you're not even safe on the sidewalk! My pregnant sister was walking down the sidewalk when a hit and run driver jumped the curb and struck her down and killed her 7 month unborn twins. Tragic. So very, very tragic. The number of maniacal drivers out there is downright terrifying. May God protect all the law-biding innocents of this world! Sorry to go off on a tangent, but your poem brought it all flooding back. Love to you! Linda  |

Sometimes, we are our own worst enemy... and experiences can make us afraid to risk stepping off the curb. It is this very conversation that can spirit us to let go of the dread, and walk. Excellent metaphor Helen. |

Thanks everyone. I think my mind (words) are getting too complicated - even for me sometimes. More like now knowing not to be inflexible with regard to my thoughts because they will more than likely change given certain circumstances and events. I therefore wait on the "sidewalk" for that "within entity" to redirect them. Listening isn't too easy what with the "roar of the traffic and all". Dear Linda - I'm so very sorry. When I hear things like that I find it hard to maintain my view of this life stuff. My sincere condolences.  Helen |
