Walk-Away Safe

We’ve all come to realise

you’re primed for detonation.

There’s only one problem

we’re not ready to go.

We don’t want to come with you.

If you ever cared about any of us

postpone

give us the time

to clear the blast zone.

If you ever cared about any of us at all

if you ever loved any one but yourself

give us time

to walk away safe.

Give us a sign

when you’re walk-away safe.

  3. “primed for detonation”

    Again, you seem to tap into something in myself. Things have been so good lately. Too good…..

    like anytime now…..

    People will rarely inform you when they are walk-away safe, but only because they themselves know little about when the explosion will happen.

    So happy to read you, as always.

    “Things have been so good lately. Too good…..”

    There is no such thing. You’ve been through enough that was terrible, it had to balance out. You cannot appreciate what you’ve been through that was difficult if you don’t take the time to appreciate what is good while it’s good.

    Neither one is worth any thing without the other.

    It’s like a nice conversation with a friend over coffee. Or not.

    Either way. Loved it.
