when it comes to the crunch
i always leap
leaving no trail of crumbs
for the past to follow
this trust
this knowing
that i can both fly
and fall
is my rock
fluid and changeable
like the weather
allowing me to always flow

I like this a lot! Happy New Year, Paul!
Thanks Charley. I’ll be along to read soon.
I love the play on the words ‘crunch’ and ‘crumbs’, Paul, and the idea that you can leap and break from the past – if only! I love the lines:
‘fluid and changeable
like the weather
allowing me to always flow’.
Leaving no trail for the past to follow also provides no way back.
Correct 😉
Both flying and falling… love that… if we can handle both, we should not hesitate to leap.
that trail of crumbs takes me instantly into a dark forest, with fear and adventure available in equal parts.
As they say in Toy Story – that’s not flying, that’s falling with style…
Flying, falling, finds the leaped fearless. Well done. Happy new year to you, paul
Love your attitude towards yourself and life ~ Good to be able to roll with the punches, flying, falling, flowing with life ~
both fly and fall… yes, this is life.
From title to end, I love this…..especially the way you allowed “falling” to be part of your “rock” instead of it only representing defeat. We can roll with the weather….we can roll with life!
You certainly always flow here, Paul.
Fly & fall…they’re kin to each other aren’t they? Nicely done.
Wonderful!
Nice up-beat write. Very encouraging…
I love the fluidity and flow here Paul and wish you a very happy and blessed 2018! :o)
Never boxed in! You must be an eagle!!

Great world view and a great poem.
I really like this:
“this knowing
that i can both fly
and fall
is my rock”
