We all must face a future with hidden destinies, and accept those things that are just meant to be. We must choose the path that our feet will take, and travel down the road of decisions that we make. With each mile that we travel there is a lesson to be learned, and there is no looking back once a bridge has been burned. With each step that we take be it together, or alone, Around every corner turned lies the great unknown. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. ~me~ |

Gentle Spirit, You are very wise my friend. You never know what adventures life will throw your way. Well done. Lone Wolf Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Just waking up can be an adventure sometimes and that is the beauty of it all. You never know but you should always be prepared for it. Live it, accept it and make the most of it. Wonderful write and so full of wisdom. Loved it. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

GentleSpirit~ This is a little gem of wisdom and beauty. 'With each mile that we travel there is a lesson to be learned, and there is no looking back once a bridge has been burned.' My grandmother taught me early in life - 'Mending fences is better than burning bridges.' It always amazes me - how much she knew. A very thoughtful piece, hon. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

I am overwhelmed at your responses tonight, and truly wish I had more time to spend in replies to you all, but thank you all so very much. I honestly don't know if it's wisdom, or just a learning process. Thank you all so much. On the wings of words our spirits fly, and our souls are free. ~me~ |
