Dawn,
Every year that ticks by brings us closer to this way of thinking. When we're kids, we feel reckless and immortal. I like the feeling of change in this piece. Love and Hugs,

Dawn,
Fine positive attitude, an awakening of self and soul presented in easy flowing lines that define and soothe...and challenge each of us to face the possibilities of ourselves. I love the thought and style of this poem.

I applaud your attitude and your outlook, Dawn. Life,
after all is to be lived for all its worth. It was
Kirkegaard who wrote about the guy so abstracted from
life that he woke up one morning dead. -gene. |

| This makes me break out in a sweat, Dawn. My life had been so safe and stable until I "found myself" when I started writing 5 years' ago... that epiphany has helped me piece together my past, present and future, like an arrow defining the self. The ongoing slipping of the sands of time makes me panic... I suspect you articulate the visceral thoughts of many with this neatly considered write. Thank you. xx |

| Many people, most people I think tend to settle for what is expected of them by other, their peers, friends, family. What these caring souls don't realize is that they too were meant to fly but because they chose to settle, they NEED you to settle too so they won't feel so bad about their condition. Flying is dangerous because it means leaving what is known behind but, oh what joys can be experienced when we begin to soar with other fliers. I really enjoyed this poem Dawn. hugs, J'nia |

I have felt that realization and the years are often not kind, and the sadness of it is that as we age and watch or bury more and more of friends and family...it is hared to accept that reality.

Dawn, One must never settle, we all deserve the best, and if we do settle, then we are saying that we deserve less. You, my friend, deserve the best the Universe has to offer and please never forget it!

| Very nice, Dawn. The clock of life waits for no wo/man, so to "simply settle" is to rest, and the remaining time must be spent aggressively living and feeling the joy of pure life. |
