Making Islands
Although they both trod the same path
they each went their different ways
catching sand to make their own islands
Each taking care not to make any waves ..

Neville you devil. So many wats to interpret this gem.
I like to think of it as an expression of a true love in a working relationship where each is unrestrained in their day to day and each bring home to their togetherness the rewards of being a whole and independant person giving their intimacy to the one who holds the jewels of their happiness and desires.
Nice one Neville.
................... It seems you can see straight through me DA ....... transparency is a 21st century key that unlocks things that might otherwise remain an uncertainty ... it seems you have the master key ... maybe

A modern way of life to many I fear -- not making waves often avoids being honest - - the imagery you use is fantastically good for the message to get through - -- a truly impressive four liner amigo.........x
for yachts or four liners .. it matters not .. there's a whole flotilla of armada wannabees out there .. and I aint talkin kangaroo lookalikes .. cheers dear lady Fay ................ x
Neat one, Neville. Reminds me of Work, now thankfully twenty years (how did that happen?) ago. Witness it (occasionally) on MPS. Probably a more common situation than we care to admit…….
Great little (contradiction in terms?) summary of circumstances I know quite well.
Cheers DD sir .. I do appreciate not only your visit .. but also your well reasoned review ...
Neville
brilliant!
(your words have inspired me to surpass my feeble limits, so many times my friend: thank you!)
'its those, who are too considerate
to be bold
that end-up tip toeing, their way
to that bitterness of regret...
Behold, modernity's progression
where solidarity reigns - most supreme
between self-enforced isolation's
comradery bonds
of entitled tethers, to suffering's surrender
upon landlocked islands
within our Sea of stubborn mindsets
sailing in that abundant ocean
of Nature's innate communion
with all things: humane'
... Cor blimey guv'nor ... a mere thank you seems hardly sufficient under the circumstance and in the wake of that heart-warming review ...

I'll be gushing and say good write, super, tally-ho, what?!
............................... you may be gushing but you got me blushin and for that I shall say thanks n good night 🙂
Simple but complicated, Interpretation is in the eye of reader,
my assessment! Carry a bucket with holes, cause sands
get too heavy , and it’ll weigh ya down! An Island is
built on hope and love , not sand castles That wash away,
Sorry, it’s an excellent metaphor for life
............... no need to apologise .. I quite agree with you RB .. cheers my friend and true 🙂
Clever words Neville, we each go different ways in our life but we must not make any waves to upset others.
Andy
... Cheers Andy .. and thank you my golden friend for always being so upbeat and positive, even when things aint so smiley .. All Good Things ...
