Just Isolation is easy, just being is all, a brief respite. Here time slows, the magpie’s song carried on the breeze. There is danger in staying away too long. But. It can’t last, it never does. Life sucks us back into the eddy with both excitement and dread, we go around and around again. Another chance to get it right. © 2000 CM Bailey |

Good thoughts here. Sometimes I wonder does life get tired of giving us second chances. Nothing can deter a poet, for he is actuated by pure love. Who can predict his comings and goings? "Thoreau" |

hehe Thanks for this lovely way of looking at it! My way isn't so "lovely"...I've often compared that "going around and around again" to that of a toilet bowel of life. LOL You make it seem much more beautiful here! Thank you for the far more positive outlook!  Superbly simple! |

Thanks, Christina, I often wonder about this subject. Temptress, I'm sure life has learned patience, after all, we are only human. Why, Netswan, that's the point! (Smiling) Park, we should all have your attitude, thank you, my friend. PoetFemmeFatale, thank you! Well, we are saying the same things, only from different perspectives. My mother always looked at life through rose colored glasses, I swore I'd never do that. Hmmm, seems it has happened anyway. Corinne |

Corinne - what a wonderful poem! You could subtitle it "Life 101," and it would certainly fit! What I have found amazing in my own life, is that those brief moments of respite can carry me through many gut-wrenching and heart-breaking times. Thank you so much for sharing this gem!

There is danger in staying away too long. But. It can’t last, it never does. Life sucks us back into the eddy with both excitement and dread, we go around and around again. Another chance to get it right. --------------- words of wisdom Corinne... written with your always positive, unique insight. I keep hoping to get it right. practice makes perfect-- me thinks *smile* great writing here. jm It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving How one move just puts me by myself There you go just trusting someone else Now I know I put us both through hell ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me And I'm not sayin We ever had the right to hold on I just didn't wanna let you get away from me. ~MB20~Leave |

Chances - I like the hope here. Lori ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
