Full circle.

Full circle.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Full circle.
As the wheels of puberty
turned on overwhelming shyness
growing up adjusting to the
transition of being...
attracted to the opposite sex.
I found the adult years
blossomed in confidence;
just a bee tasting different honeys
in search of the one.... true flower.
Only to find the wheel's
movement spiralled
approaching senior's age
more quickly than expected
  leaving me shy
     once more,
       full circle.

I find I get bolder as I get older. I guess eventually I will be the bad joke at the back of the Playboy ...

I was like that, I suppose it's a confidence thing! maybe mine is waning lol
Ah, how we spin through life; tasting, touching, savouring each experience that comes our way; all so different, all giving us moments and memories that are never forgotten.

Full circle indeed.

Yes J, me too those awkward years lay ahead
Human relationship especially of both sexes well combined together as nature itself did. I love this type of symbolic expression
