One foot in front of the other
Our journey unknown as we tread
like reading a novel, no sense of
beginning or middle or end, so we step
cautiously on this path that lays ahead
~~~~~~~~~~~
memories of yellowed pages in a book once read
our lives were once like that but now we voice
farewell to what was frayed and erstwhile
to corners that curled and smelt of damp
beginning a new chapter we rejoice
~~~~~~~~~~
goose pumps explode upon paled skin
unknowing what is down this path
or what our lives will bring
Excitement, gut in knots, flushed cheeks
accepting, learning, discovering
~~~~~~~~~~
our own story we now embark upon
treading with inspired steps
the discarded pages of books all worn
replaced with crisp untouched experience
~~~~~~~~~~~
one foot in front of the other
with eagerness to discover
we say goodbye to previous loves
and turn the new pages together

I see your mood has become reflective. I (and a number of turkeys) are relieved! A lovely though R-Mum 🙂

A sweet, giving, greasy faced, smarmy little love!
It has somewhat, shoosh about the turkeys you 😉 and I thank you ROS that means a lot coming from such an accomplished writer as yourself 🙂 My vocab lacks sadly 😦 even with the years I have been writing .. but then I feel sometimes ‘big’ words aren’t necessary to portray what you are trying to say.

I loved it. 🙂
The Mall? Oh the Shopping Centre 😉
