detour ahead
these last days will be...precious
as reality upends for some of us
when we crawl back into journals
or our skulls
unsure how to get the thoughts out
where they can make a difference
to others
& ourselves
let me say this...
it's only a moment
not the final script
these were good days
filled with wild inspiration
& healing
the journey doesn't end
just because the road ran out
we simply forge onward
as we blaze new trails
taking memories with us
I...for one...am intensely grateful
for this home
& it's beautiful inhabitants
perhaps we'll meet again
in another chapter
wherever you eventually land
I'll be there in spirit
cheering you on
this place has taught me...
we are never truly alone
thank you, DUP
& especially Webmistress

Perfect! Remaining positive and grateful for the experience beats resentful bitterness any day! Cowboy is right - there are many other avenues of keeping in touch.

When the lights go out & reality descends, there will be time enough for silence. I'm making every moment count while we have them. Thank you, Ahavati

There's no place like home. What I discovered in the Underground is that the people here are what makes it home. We just need a new landing pad. I love you, Brenda

This month marked my 9 year anniversary in the halls. It's an easy place to get cozy in. I'm sad you didn't get to experience it longer

Amen to that. We will find each other... and we will keep poeting, because we can't help it!!

Ain't that the truth! Until the lights go out...I'm dug in here, spreading love wherever I can. Thank you, K

Beautifully penned, Willow. Into the list it belongs! I added the exclamation point, because I coined the phrase. lol. Seriously, I added it because I'm going down with the ship, and I'm gonna go out having fun. Spilling ink, and having fun. I encourage all to do the same. My friend, it's been such an honor getting to know you. You're a gifted poetess, and I love your fire. And you have fire, when you choose to unleash it. You're a kindred spirt, we think alike, especially when it comes to our view of the world. I always enjoy your reading your work, most of all I enjoy interacting with you in commentary. Especially when I make you go there! lol. I'm a better human, for knowing you my friend. If you're hanging around, we'll pass each other in the halls. If not, hopefully somewhere down the road. Sorry for going on a tangent. Although I'm sure you're use to them by now. And, I'm thinking about keeping the exclamation point. It's fun, and I love saying it. Godspeed my friend. Appreciate you.

The bouncers are going to have to throw my rowdy ass out when the lights go down. I'm in it till the doors lock behind us. Damian, it's been a pleasure sharing thoughts in commentary with you. Look through my comment history & you'll see...I'm not generally so wound up. Kindred minds indeed. And I need the riling...so thank you!

Despite the pain you choose to be grateful, which we all should do. Remember the good times, the connections, the sharing the vulnerable parts of ourselves. Love this one, sis 💖

I'm viewing time here as a gift. One I'm eternally grateful to have had. And I'm hoping it's not a full stop, but a pause...while we regroup with our misift band of beautiful souls somewhere else. Thank you, sis 💖

Absolutely! For 9 years this place was a dysfunctional inspiring place to live. I'll take the days remaing with gratitude.
