Straddling the wood
wishing,
someone would

wondering pondering
which way to go

looking down
its a long way down

wondering wandering
is there even a safe place to land
any place to land

or shall we keep on falling
no end
no land
insight

my question, my quandary
my plight

whether to seek another
is there enough ground to cover

should one come running fast

a man trapped by logic
when women are locked in emotion
there is no logical way of approachment

for broken hearted encroachment

"go on go on, my son...

if she loves you
make her run!"

I know what you mean too well. On that note, well done. Very well done.

Nicely worded, if a bit gender stereotypical, and hopefully appreciated!

I cannot, however, lose this wry humorous image of a young man sitting on a wood rail fence in cap and jeans, gazing to field and sky and then back to the lawn mower he has already worked up a sweat trying to start.
