Jump Time


Change, evolutionary theorists tell us, doesn't happen gradually. Rather, things go along as they have been going for a long while in a state of equilibrium until a species, living at the edge of its tolerance, experiences enough ferment and stress to punctuate the equilibrium with a sudden jump to a whole new order of being. How true... and that's the way its been for me lately.  Bye Summerland!

I can feel it
Slipping away fast
Like water under the door
Wood, metal, glass, changing
Form dollar bills now

Twenty two years
Slide like fancy goldfish
Between my fingers
Protective abode
Anchors away

Relieve me my watch
Settle karma's deal
Sturdier younger fresh faced
Riders on the storm
She's all yours

Land summer house
In life's safe harbor
Island view finished
Liquid shimmering mirage
Summerland's tale

  1. Stepping forward on
    to the simpler life
    Where adventure is
    a journey, not dreams.
    Remember what was,
    move to what is
    and make everything
    more than it seems.

    Love u, Gal Pal
