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!

Well written and rhymed. An almost perfect description of one of the most attractive creatures.
Thank you for this,

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.
"Missing you, missing me".

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!🙏🙏

This is one of the purest, feel-good poem that I've come across. So beautifully written that it welled up my eyes.

Come in peace
speak your truth
Refract the light
Wear the armer
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.

Thank you! Manish, your encouragement and support is second to none! Uilleam, would you happen to be Irish? If so it is our birthright to be burdened by other people’s expectations and disappointments of us. Thank you, Bethany - I try my best!☺️💕💕💕

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 🌻🌻🌻

Well, Uilleam, she might scream and scream and scream until she was SICK. And, yes, our William was aptly named 😂
Thanks for the appreciative comments, Manish. I do like to mess with a reader's emotions. Don't we all?!? 😂

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.🌻

I do that too much Clare...with feelings of rejection, of not having lived up to someone's expectations; feelings of failure still lingering from my youth.
I need courage and honesty in bucketloads💓.

Thank you all so much for your kind words of support. It is important to me that you know, without all your encouraging feedback over the time I’ve been on WOL I would not have the courage to expose myself through audio. You guys have been amazing, you are all great poets in your own right and I have enormous respect for what you do.
