Solo Flight

inspired by Bhavana

In our hearts the longing stays
A soul's cry for better days.
When love was in the palm of our hands
Readily we faced our lives' demands.

Things don't last the way we want them to be

Tides change as waves ebb into the sea.
And so, on these roads of dirt and stone

Bravely we must trudge our lifelong path alone.

Life is not really live to its fullest when its not live for others . As we grow and mature our priorities shift and change like the shifting sand . Then again even if it does become a hard and lonely road . Stand we must even if it just us ...For if we dont stand up for something . We will fall for anything and everything . For life can change with just a drop of a hat ...

[Rachelle]

Walking the path alone does not preclude us from being men and women for others, sir. As you said, "We have to stand up for something" no matter how rough the road is ahead.

[NeiL ArandA]

Absolutely. Even when we are alone . In the eyes of a sovereign God . Even a minority is a majority .If we are standing for the right cause .

[Rachelle]

Truth in your words, sir! AMDG!

We walk our path alone sometime paths intersect but the path of our inner thoughts is ours alone.

Thank you!

Within this piece reverberates the longing for a past, memories that make themselves known and drag your speaker down like anchors begging to return to the sea. Indeed, things never stay the same. Prophetic words, Rachelle, well done, I enjoyed this one.

Thanks, Tai!

Thank you!

I too am a firm believer that each one of us have to walk the path alone. People come and go leaving memories but it is only you who has to cover it.

[Rachelle]

The truth! But many are scared to do it alone.

[Rachelle]

Thanks for the review, BTW.

Beautiful poem, Rechelle. Take note: 5th line; Things don't last the way want them to be / doesn't sound grammatically correct.

[Rachelle]

ooops! I haven't come around to editing it yet. KL did point it out…. :P

[William Wapi]

I am typing fast myself cause running I actually grammatically messed up your grammatically messed line :D

[William Wapi]

I've done it again.

[Rachelle]

We are tripping over our own keyboards….

[Chris Micha]

When it comes down to it our trek is a truly solo one. Very interesting poem. Well done! :)

[Rachelle]

We all have to do it alone. :)
