Dowlish Wake
L. B. Mek said:

\'The lawns so green
Surrounded by the wonder,
The wonder of Nature.
The trees and bushes
Bringing delight to my sight.\'
this is beautiful
are those clouds for real?
so majestic and tranquil,
your write took me back to my football days,
when we would spend an entire day playing, and then just lay on the grass
and watch the clouds, wordlessly
sharing that moment of serenity...
a wonderful read Andy and the energy of the music goes with it so well

A fine write and pic Gold.
Erm, I\'m not envious. We have rural or semi-rural areas about 2 miles from home, and a woodland about 1 mile away.

Had to Google Dowlish Wake....... I wish you wouldn\'t do this to me, Andy - I may have been in Australia for a long time now, but I still have feelings for the Old Country, you know....It looked great, plus croquet - you almost make me envious (no, correct that - you DO make me envious - for a little while!)
Lovely nostalgic write.

Our own wonderful land. It\'s the reason why i go for my drives, to be out there taking pleasure from what fills my senses.
A timely reminder from you to get out into the country air before the chill arrives.

dusk arising said:

There\'s something about a river, probably it\'s steady permanent presence. That Avon has been there a long long time and seen many things. So it\'s natural to relax by your river and enter your spiritual thoughts, It\'s good that you have that relationship and reassurance for your travel along your path... your way.

dusk arising said:

Yes I agree but to be fair... look what unforseen covid has done to western economies and the steps needed to be taken.... blame bloody CHINA who dont give a flying fk about buggering up the economy.

Did anybody really think that those HUGE handouts by the UK gov through the pandemic would not have a HUGE knock on effect? Or would it have been better for the gov to have not made hand-outs and left the NI stamp as it is?

Reality BITES! LOL

Decisions
The elder poet said:

Every one makes mistakes at one time or another. Taking the wrong road. But from that mistake we learn to turn around and try another. We don\'t know what our futures bring. We can only do the very best that we can. And yes we learn from our mistakes. In my case I must be one smart guy. Because I\'ve made many mistakes . I enjoyed reading you poem. Thank you for sharing.

Decisions
L. B. Mek said:

by design or chaotic luck
our fallibility is unquestioned,
a part of us, a tool
to be utilised
and so let us buckle and trip, again and again, maybe even fall,
once in a while
but come, when our time for accountability is nigh upon us,
and there
we\'ll stand twice, as erect
and twice more, emboldened
by self accumulated, meaningful pride..
success out of failure: Yes,
I like the flavour
of that: \'slice of life\'...!
(you\'ve done it again, my friend
got me flying away into spontaneity of those emotional dancing qwerty keys,
lets hope it all makes some kind of sense, in the end) lol
thank you, my friend
found your words to be unassumingly: inspirational!
