the road to here and there

arqios

 

The Road To Here And There 

 

the road to nowhere

must begin somewhere

the road to anywhere

always begins everywhere

 

if in doubt of direction

find your spot elsewhere

then follow your feet

where your nose leads you

 

the road to dinner wear

ends in frozen Tupperware

the road to Delaware

travels here and there

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

revisited version:

 

The road to nowhere must begin somewhere

the road to anywhere always begins everywhere

If in doubt of direction sniff the wind for silver linings

then follow faithful footsteps where quiet grace is shining

the road to dinnerware ends in frozen Tupperware

the road to Delaware skirts old towns and shoreline fair

              • Cheeky Missy

                No problem, my pleasure, you're more than welcome... I'm not up to speed as much as I'd like, thanks to too much third shift and now 12-hr shifts of the same. Thank you, rather, for sharing.

                • arqios

                  same here, 12-hour shifts are the worst... but then again... we scrape by, thanks kindly 🙏🏻🕊️

                • arqios

                  Hope either or both works in your reading!

                  • Cheeky Missy

                    Both work, but my favorite is the 2nd. I'll try to comment later more fully.

                          Your rewrite elevates the original to unforeseen heights until a playful poem becomes a nearly breathtaking thing of beauty, incorporating the ideas with an extraordinary twist. Gorgeously rendered with superb imagery and a waltzing poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.

                          • arqios

                            That is so encouraging to read, thank you again. 🙏🏻🕊️
