When the cobblestones are moved
and our paths begin to change
When we stumble in the grooves
that their absences have made
And we wonder with some fear
how the next day finds it's way
Where do we go from here
when that is where you want to stay?
Filling in the cracks
trying to readjust somehow
Cause there is no turning back
no way to change the process now
How are we so surprised
knowing the way time plays its game
Always thought there'd be more time
now nothings gonna be the same
It's not if, darling, but it's when
Don't leave anything unsaid
You can't get them back again
ask while you still have the chance
Too soon the stones are pulled away
with no time to say what you need to say
Say I love you, right out loud
then, carry on, and make them proud

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Rachel Reviews: The Spiral Archive by Pieter Hendrik
It's difficult for me to know where to start with a review of this book as it was, for me, an entirely unique experience and one that I'll probably never have again. I don't want that to be interpreted as unenjoyable but it has left me scratching my head a little and ruminating on its content, its themes and its characters.

"It's not if, darling, but it's when" That line felt sooo empowering! Loved your poem!
Oh, the roads we travel on during various relationships that we are in and present. Good work.
Such heartfelt words that are so true. Sending hugs :)
Beautiful!
