--Departures--

Always and forever, a seeker am I.
Not content to dally in one place, a long time.
The gleam of new places and new friends, calls to me.
Like an astronaut, to seek a new venture in the sky.

I have never understood this about me at all.
Just know I hear far away places, all the time.
Like a lion chained, my voice is hardly small as a dime.
I foresee my mental baggage, ready to go in the hall.

Looking for partners who will laugh with me.
Perhaps, my poetry they might like.
Unafraid to tell me so in the still of the night.
Ah, but I pause, under the caution tree.


           The distance so very long, my strength so slight!

David, I will follow your advice. How could I not? I never play it safe or be a weenie. That's for tbe majority of the world I will die with no regrets. Many perfect people, might! Terried of being different!! I want no part of tbe Lonely Crowd, all sheep going over a cliff. Pangie xx

We're always on the move, the wanderlust within us, looking for new challenges and meeting new friends. Its a lifelong quest. Tom

Not at all, you said yourself you're a seeker, always looking to try something new, nothing worse than being stuck in a rut.
