Letting it sit there, on the road I go
I dare not go back, I must not go slow
No matter what the person, has to say
Knowing in my heart, that God has just paid
Going straight forward I have but to push
Because the next stop, could be an ambush
Not being paranoid, I just know my limits
If a tale could be told, I could spin it

Very true words. We are all in a war, so must watch for ambush at all times. Highly thought provoking.

Not to go back is the right choice. We are all tempted to spin. Good words.

We can choose to move forward or turn back, be affected or not, gaurd our beliefs with vigilance or allow others to tread and wear us down. I really enjoyed the use of the word ambush. The brevity of the verses give a since of surprise. BUT… The duality of spin was the BIG winner with me.

I adore your honesty… if a tale could be told I could spin in… and the connection of reality, mortality, spirituality.

Thanks Kim. I think it’s important for us to ask; how often are we driven by our passions and habits with disregard to those around us?
