Life like the lottery? I just wanna see December 22ed.................


Poem Artwork

The winds of life blow,
This way and that.
Sometimes with you,
Sometimes against you.

Enjoy the trailing winds,
Because the headwinds,
Can upset your routine.
And we strive for routine,
A no surprise life.

Take a number,
And have a seat.
A life without surprises,
Is just around the corner.

I cycle a lot around this hill and I love the "wind at my back." I know you mean a lot more than that in your verses here, Walt. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

yep, guess we'll all be holding our breath and waiting for The Big Surprise - whether 21st December or whenever the Big Red Balloon eventually Goes Up... One thing's for sure, we'll all be goin about our day to day business same as ever when it happens! Hoping to see you still here next year, Walt! :)) xx

My immediate reaction is a bit strange - a life without surprises can only be imagined after death!

Walt, enjoyed your perspective, for me each day is a new adventure, sometimes I'm surprised, other times, not so much. Thanks for writing.
Cheers,
Dan

The Mayan calendar, ring a ding ding. A time and space compendium, I do not believe it exists. Our numbers have already been selected. Don't take a number or a seat, grab a libation and tell interesting stories. Yes, I believe that is what I will do. Join me Walt and we will be out front of the throngs. Have a Happy Thanksgiving my dear friend. I wish you love and peace. Jon Michael

After having a birthday toast that evening, I will go to bed, sleep peacefully, and rise to another day of trying to figure out what I'm going to do for Christmas. ;-)

That last stanza doesn't ring true, because a life without surprises is pretty darn boring.
