Today's poet

[Mossdog]

steadfast aloneness
a bitter response
to our histories unfair
against all odds
we met to connect
and began to share
night after day
cracks have appeared
in the shells that we wear
this slow awakening
a realisation that
two ones make a pair

Goodness Hes there seems to be some close parallels in both our lives at the moment; I just wish I had your poetic flow too - wow what great verse.

[Mountain Goatess]

Oh MG that's just plain lovely, but may I also say, rather sad too

Oh I love the solitude of it! You know that feeling you get when you can't hear a thing and there's not a soul in sight.

awesome hes! really well written

[freckle]

All the birds have flown up and gone;
A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other -
Only the mountain and I.

this is beautiful...as i wake this morning with that "part ofthe rat race " kind of vibe this type of thing cheers me so thanks!

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I love this Freckle - never look back on life's choices.... but do if you take the wrong track in a fell race eh?

He he!

There is a saying (which I made up)

Once lost
Never forgotten!

Good on you.

It is a beautiful day today, a nice one to be out on the fells again.
