well done

the shoes of a cosmic vagabond fit you well, Dale...

Y E S !! Not to be overly literal, but having suffered near shoelessness, I have this thing for shoes. . .yet there is nothing like going barefoot. Taking the road less traveled! 'Whither hath bohemians gone?' Keep the breed alive! Walk ON, my friend, Walk ON!! 'Pea' <3

A deeply touching and well penned write,
Birgit and Roger

This has a good rhythym, and it is so well-written, the words really carrying the meaning in a slow ride of a train and a lonely man walking.

As always outstanding work Dale!!

... Got the soundtrack on for the Canadian TV series, "Due South", which is one of my alltime fav programmes. 'Bout the dishy Mountie who exudes grace and charm and traditional community values, working alongside a schmolzy but lovable Chicago PD cop... why am I tellin you this?? Not too sure, actually, but the music kinda fits this poem... sense of the restless souls that move on and keep searching for the higher horizons amidst the grubbin activity of the hustlin cities. As ever, highly evocative amidst the steam-train smoke of life and last two lines to DIE for... I am tempted to nick them!! :)) Hmmmmm... "so I wander aimless like shoeless bohemians"... might just have to circle that one... LOL K xx

Dear CJ,

Sometimes, we discover wondrous things while wandering aimlessly.
Hope that many treasures are on your path.

Love & Light,
Joseph
