New beginings
A hah! I finally got the blog to work - flippin cookies were getting in the way... first they make me too fat for my trousers, then too fat for my blog! Damn those cookies! May a thousand termites infest their garden furniture....
Y'know the most often spoken phrase I'm hearing at the moment is "Where the heck have you been...." what, a guy can't disappear for 18 months without the inquisition? Lol just kidding, it's been a rough time, new business, new life and finally I found my way back here... for a New Begining.
Once over I couldn't log on with out being grabbed, hugged, hi5'd and kidnapped... smuggled into the chat room wrapped in swaddling blankets, tied to an inflatable chair and forced to endure torturous bad puns and lame one liners ... of course I could have just shut my mouth, but they just spill out - it's an OCD!
Now almost everyone I knew has moved on, walking the journey on a different path, following different signs, I can only hope they remembered to take a friend, and warm comfortable shoes. Of course if you're lurking behind me, watching and waiting for your chance to pounce and scare the crap outta me.... Get it done already! I miss ya guys!
So here I am, at the junction, leaning against the sign post and wondering which way to turn. A breeze barely disturbs the trees around me, just enough to allow a faint whispering from the leaves, are they talking about me?
Butterflies, birds and insects flit about haplessly, mindless of my next move, following their own journeys down their own paths. I look behind me for a moment, never for long, for all that lays behind is the past, a memory or string of memories that can only remind you how to do things right, never help you make the first steps.
My heart is hungry for the diversity I face ahead, people and places I've never met, who and what is around the next corner? Who knows, but still I wait, for a friend or companion to walk some of the way with, to share tales of life, love, loss and buttercrackers, laugh at nothing and cry for something. I linger, passing my gaze over the lanscapes ahead, imagining what may come, understanding that I may never know unless I begin.
The first steps in my new warm comfortable shoes, hey, won't you walk a while with me?

Nice writing, have you had anything published? What are buttercrackers? crackers w/ butter?
The reason I came here is also the diversity.. to have views from the rest of the world.. I hardly view the usa channel, sometimes we can be full of ourselves and that makes me sad.

oh hai k thnx bai sent in a cracking little poem. Here is one I wrote myself. I have others. I used to write in the mid 90's then stopped until 2000. I haven't written anything since. My last poem was to a friend I have since lost contact with. I will never forget her. We should have been together and would have been if it were not for the 17 year age gap. At 20 she was too young to date. Wendy was one for the future when our ages didn't matter so much. Seven years on all I have to do is find her and hope she isn't engaged or married.
THIS CRAZY WORLD ©Robert Welsh, 2007
If somewhere out there, there is a boy for you,
Perhaps for me there is a girl to stop me feeling blue.
Almost seven years without a girl is quite a nasty itch,
I feel like I am walking along a dark and lonely ditch.
I often lie awake at night just staring into space,
Wondering if I'll ever share this lonely place.
My thoughts are of the future, a drama to unfold,
I can't help but wonder if I'll ever have a child to hold.
I wish that things were different, I would start adult life anew,
I would change things my way to restart my life with you.
Perhaps I'll find someone my own age, but only heaven knows,
This crazy world of ours often gets right up my nose.
Whatever lies ahead of us will one day be behind,
Of what is waiting for us I'll keep an open mind.
We two were born years apart but that was meant to be,
The future may be hazy but there will always be you and me.
Sometimes we'll have good days, as bright as bright can be,
Others will be stormy, like a hurricane out to sea.
It is written in the stars, those bright lights far away,
They tell me you are special and you are here to stay.
Wendy did stay, but only in my heart. There is an eternal flame burning inside of me with her name on it. One day, I dream our paths will cross again and we can carry on where we left off.
Nice Blog. Glad to see you are still active.
