Well I'm going to give some thought where this is going, but I think it's about pacing ourselves! |

Sometimes... it's a crime just to breathe... or so it would seem by the reactions we're shown. *S* I get that with my boss all the time... so very sorry that you know the same bafflement/resignation. *S* Excellent write, my friend.  |

Ed Interesting to think of the meaning behind this poem...and the layers. There are no sign posts, are there?....and nothing to tell you how fast or slow to go. There is only the road and you taking one step at a time. A seemingly simple poem, that is really very complex! Well done!! |

pretty much depends on the length of your stride my friend and who and what you’re carrying on the way . . . |

Eddy darling man, you never commit any crime unless its a crime to have so much talent. Love the feel of this, it made me think which is always a good thing. as always Mushy x x x x You didn't think I'd visit and not leave a little bit of me behind did you? For you darling man I'll always go that extra mile xx Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |

I read so much meaning in so few words. Hang the crime! Ask anyway. |
