    • I’ve known people like this. It’s like a hunger they can’t sate, always be moving & seeing & going new places. Almost like it’s spiritual for them. I know a guy who literally hops & trains & goes where it takes him. This one made me smile 😊

    • Write on brother .. & always .. Neville 😎👍

    • Thank you, my friend.

    • Thank you, my friend. I appreciate it.

    • Beautifully penned, Thomas. Excellent write, the story of the traveler. Appreciate you.

    • I admit to having a bit of that hobo spirit in me. If not for the dedication I feel toward loved ones, I might have been a wanderer. You capture the phenomenon well.

    • I was once this boy. Always on the move. Never settling down. You have the quintessential poet’s gift of telling the story of your characters with deep understanding and empathy. This spoke to me deep down about years gone by.

    Fear of Falling

    Fear of Falling   As autumn begins, might this be    the very end of us ..   For today tho’ we cling or we climb to long    limbs and strong boughs ..   Come tomorrow, we may fly, dance, or fall    alone with the wind ..

    • Superb work, my friend.

    • I love the imagery in this. And the sense of last blast desperation to live in the moment. Welcome to the Stars

      • You are most kind Willow thank you so much for stopping to consider my little scribble .. Kindest Regards .. Neville

    • Prophetic. The fragility of it all.
      A moving piece.
      Regards James

    • so wistful a thought I still sense a deep longing in you over this person 💕

    • In my opinion, if we made it through the heat and humidity of summer. We will make it through Autumn… yet, we can’t deny how Autumn inspires sentimental feelings. I read this as a lullaby of Autumn, there is sadness as there is hope, there is doubt yet there is freedom… Good Morning dear Neville 🌻

      • You must have come by when I was sleeping .. I love to wake and find you have been near .. I’m on my 2nd coffee, how many have You had so far dear Light 💛⭐

    • They were probably drinking or on something and thought they knew you from way back. So they just let you go. Life is strange that way but I am glad nothing other than a scare happened to your wife.

      • Yeah they were drunk. Which I’ve been in shady situations before but I’m very protective of my wife. It just felt different with them circling back. They actually parked right in front of use waiting for use. When I pretended to know them they drove off to fish I think. Not sure if they were just trying to scare us or what, but never know in this world.

        Thanks for the read friend.

    • Powerfully penned, Nick. Sometimes you gotta roll with the punches, while hoping none are thrown, cooler heads can prevail. Quick thinking my friend. Appreciate you.

      Damian

      • Yeah, I’ve learned to keep your cool but be prepared for the worst.

        Thanks for the read friend.

    • Sometimes idiocy outweighs intention. If someone intent on bullying & causing trouble is suddenly confronted with the unexpected…not anger or fear but friendliness…they usually falter. Probably spent the rest of the day trying to remember where you knew them from. Quick on your feet, my friend. In your shoes, I would have been terrified. I think it’s one of the biggest reasons my partner is leery of PDA…he’s afraid of becoming someone’s irrational abuse target. I wish it wasn’t such a pervasive reality 😕

      • It’s not uncommon to get one or two jerks yelling things out their car, but yeah it was scary with them coming back for us. If it was one or two people but with there being two trucks with at least 8 people all together. I stood no chance even if I had a knife. I think the thing that really scares me is I know my wife wouldn’t run. She wouldn’t leave me. I’m ok with me being hurt but not my wife.

        But thankfully it didn’t turn ugly.

        Thanks for the read friend. Much appreciated.
