This poem is aptly named, Clare. I love the light, evanescent feeling in this poem, as befits the theme.

Don’t knock gawping, Graham. Along with “waiting” I include it in the Interests section of my CV.
And thanks for the Like, Stephen.

We’ll be civilized when woman can breast feed in public without people gawping at them I think!

Thank you Uilleam, Keith, John and MC.
A happy ending indeed.
It's 50 years since the the rocky horror show first came out, and it showed some of the audience on the telly, that was the inspiration for this one.
I think I may do it live on Thursday, though I usually fluff them when they are fresh and new.
Cheers Kevin

Is this an example of
the "Male Gaze" or
the "Female Gaze"
in art?
Does the answer depend on the sex of the person who did the art work, or on the sex of the person who took the photo of it?
😕

A chuckle-rich treat which might also be titled "GETTING YOUR ROCKYS OFF"! Surely one for a "live" performance?

Respect for the sisterhood, Uilleam. Furthermore, I think women should be encouraged to practise in public spaces even before they have children.

I'm with you on the sisterhood John.
I reckon there's still hope that the UK can be a civilised society when mums are allowed to breastfeed their children in public with the comfort and respect they deserve.

Kevin,
I nearly laughed my tits off with this magnificent verse. As always you never disappoint your readers. From where do you conjure up such scenarios? They are a 'must' read. Brilliant!
Thanks for this,
Keith

Another stunning poem which challenged my thinking and posed some extraordinary questions, Matilda.
I suppose thought does produce chemical reactions and processes which goes on, again, to influence our thinking. The link between pain and love, too, needs to be explored.
A top poem from a very fine writer. 🌷

I rather like the idea, MC and Uilleam, of self-identifying as Elon Musk. It would give me every right to walk into the Nationwide and take all his money out. Not to mention being able to shag his missus.
And thanks for the Likes, Holden and Clare.

Yes MC, I know what you mean. I’ve had 3 bikes stolen during the course of my life. Two I recovered (both are long stories - maybe I’ll write poems about them some day) I get around the problem now by having a rusty old bike from the 1990s that no sane thief would bother to steal!

Self-identify is fine with me too. I take exception to its dumb
imposition on the reality of the limitations of others' ACTUAL identities. Malice in Blunderland!!

I would offer an alternative title to this touching poem.

I used to find riding a bike was not the biggest problem, but
being stressed by the fear it would the victim of damage and thievery once there! Walking or taking the bus (tube in London)
was always a chosen alternative if practical. 😐

Thank you for your lovely comments! 🙏🙏
Manish, I am glad that in a way through my writing a message is passed on. And yes, you are right many times we feel lost, and if we are aware we can see around us there is always somebody or something to light our path! Thank you!🙏🙏
Kevin, I don't know why but anytime I see comments of your I find myself smiling. Thank you!🙏🙏
Clare, while writing this poem I was feeling the same too. It was like different levels of consciousness were operating in harmony with each other and the last 3 sentences were the seal of their communication. Thank you for your wonderful comment!🙏🙏

Come in peace

Refract the light

Relinquish fear
Humble in the eyes of God
No Holier than now
Give onto others

Yes I know, Clare. I feel I ought to write about climate change but it’s difficult when there is so little you can say about it that’s positive.

This poem takes me to the core of my being. So many levels to tumble into. I think this is a magnificent poem - one that resonates with a force so strong that it takes my breath away. Dare I say, I think this is the best poem I have read on WOL and that takes some doing! I will read this over and over. Thank you 🌻🌻🌻

Reading this has left me speechless, Matilda. There's something in the way that you right, the energy that it passes on to me is really pure. There's education, transparency, transition, lesson, nature, morality, imagination, purpose of life, etcetera. These factors are so powerful and effectively written that it leads my paths towards my life's purpose when I'm lost.
Thank you for this.🌻
