Moving Forward

Living in the city gave me a hair line fracture
   only discovered
    upon my move to Gibsons
where time stands still amongst the lapping waves
and long grey cranes that waggle their heads in search of fish-
  there is much freedom here I think
while walking down our one Main Street
No don't hunger for the city- 
  it's endless malls and congested traffic
that smacks of arteriosclerosis of the veins

I celebrate my decision to relocate thereby having time
and opportunity to explore retirement that 
motivates me to kick start my creativity-
I count my blessings everyday.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
