An interesting write, Walt, which could be the chronicle of millions of us every year. No, we don't want the pain of old mistakes. And we don't want to experience the insanity of repeating the same behavior and expecting a different result.

The secret to relationship success is to choose wisely and keep paddling till you reach the far shore.

I think far too many of us jump ship after a couple of big waves come along and sting our face with a salt-water splashing. But in life, there are always waves coming along, some big and some small.
If you chose wisely, you already have true love. The trick to enjoying enduring love is dedicating yourself to your true love and enlisting his/her aid in paddling together to the beautiful shore of committed, dependable, and unending love.

Love is not a heated infatuation. That's lust. Love is a decision. And once you make the decision, don't second-guess yourself. Trust your own judgment. There is no perfect mate. But the joy of a satisfying, enriching and enduring love is within reach. With the right mind-set, it can start tomorrow. At dawn!

There you go again, Walt, pulling my trigger with your provacative poetry. But you're at expert at that!

Wonder if demented do care one way or another...or, if they had reached Paradise on earth.

J. Allen Wilson, also of Authors Den is a lover of Tybee Island, though he hasn't gone there too much of late, something about it getting to built up...? Anyway, any sunrise caught is better than one lost...ed

Wow! I love the picture, and your poem is pure gold.

Cheers,

Walt,
You know me by now, and I believe in love...If at first you don't succeed try try try try again!!!! Anyway, Keep on smiling love will come knocking on your door, I am thinking positive vibes for you...
Much love, light and peace, my dear friend,

Well if you want to be realistic, just add some oil slick to your picture, because that is what is next for our beaches. There will be no better day unless mankind as a whole behaves differently and makes some sacrifices to change his indulgent and destructive behaviors. Perhaps you are not like this but everybody must lend a hand to CHANGE!
Sorry but couldn't help but think of it when I saw that beautiful picture!

Well stated Walt, when love bites us hard on the ass it is hard to just tell our hearts to forget it and walk away, love is often the cause of insanity and even suicides. I am glad the main character in this write knows enough that he has to move ahead, no matter how painful it is.

Dragging the past around with you is never a healthy thing to do. Whatever is in the past is now history..... Kool write, Walt.
