Oh that you could shatter yourself
That a thousand pieces of you
Could scatter to the four winds
So you'd feel yourself placed everywhere
Not confined to any one time or space
Or other boundaries limiting your view
Arranging yourself thus
May leave me bereft
But satisfy your wanderlust

Lorna,
His departure might have left you bereft, but his ‘wanderlust’ may have been satisfied…and in that I’m sure you’ll find some solace.
A great read of your beautifully penned words.
Thank you for sharing.

Hi Laura! Thanks for stopping by.......
Reminded me of a feeling which comes over me in waves now and again. Parts of me belong all over the place maybe because i have no solid aged roots. But through it all, I am rooted to my surrounds and what is dear to me.
Well I suppose we really are parts of everywhere........
A cry of appeal to another who cannot be on one place or situation for long is so artfully written here Lorna - really enjoyed the hidden force in this read.
Probably less romantic in practice for the wandering souls eh Fay? Or until they get old and long for a real home.........
One great write..well done..
So kind - thanks!
Aren't you being just a little too understanding there, Lorna?

Sweet write though.
Thanks Dave - your link didn't take me to anything except a page of sites so not sure which one it's supposed to be. Thanks for liking it!
`Hi Lorna: Maybe Google 'the stranger song leonard cohen'. It's the one with his face in the visuals. I cannot tell if it perfectly fits your situation, but thought it just conceivably might, perhaps in part. - If not , then I can only apologise for taking up too much of your time.........
I loved the song - it made me wary of the stranger but at the same time very sad for him. There are elements of this that touched on someone I cared for very much. Stop apologizing Dave - time is for filling with new things these days. Thanks for reading by the way! Sometimes I will truly waste your time believe me.........
Right Lorna, I await that moment - then you can await my response.....
Lust? Swoon! Ahh, wanderlust. I see! lol.
Honestly where is Fido when you need him!
what a comprehensive portrait
what a sobering dose of reality
what a relatable read of poetic, brevity..
thank you, for choosing to share
I'm blushing..........
even the word itself conjures up so many new and as yet to find people, places, sights, sounds, tastes n smells .. feels perfect to me my friend .. so can you imagine a whole page devoted to its namesake ....... feels like a mixture of freedom and heaven all rolled into one ..................... Neville
Don't go running off! Thanks for the read!
