Walk Away with Me - A Poem for Weekly Scribblings


Walking Away

Walk 

         This 

                 Way 

                        With 

                                Me 

I'm going to the other side 


May it be an island  sumptuous 

Or it could be your neighbor's backyard 

Mine (neighbor) has a putting green

To a big city that never closes or turn off its lights 

How about camping out by the lake in an amusement park 


And if we don't like it there we can walk away again to some other place   

Wherever we go we'll be walking away 


Our people will be missing us 

Well if they do they can walk away over to us 

Or walk away for just a visit 

Perhaps they'll stay 


Think of the thousands and thousands who've done it before 

Pioneers they were called 

Hippies too


I'll open my eyes and see where we will be

For 

    sure 

          we'll 

             be 

                walking 

                          away


Good Bye 

or 

Should this bubble burst 

I'll miss its haven for me 

In back of my mind

    It would be so nice to walk away from this pandemic, Jim. I can think of so many places I'd love to walk away to, still on this little island.

    I love the breezy playfulness of this. Sure made me wish to go for a stroll too.

    I love how the "walking away" goes down steps, on the way somewhere better.

    One day we will all be walking away. We all know this but rarely talk about which is good as everyone will take the same path.

    Well Jim ... you did it! My favorite of all your poems. I have walked away more than several times and it always worked out.

    The form seems such a casual "walking away" but I know its intent is much deeper.

    The format of this is great. It walked me all across the page.

    Thank you, GEM, I really appreciate you. We've been blogging friends since 2005.
    The poems, a lot, aren't supper good but I enjoy writing of the thoughts that come to my muse. She treats me best she can.
