Push & Pull . . .

You came out of nowhere

and everywhere

all at once.

It happened before,

and it's exactly 

what happened

again.

One day

you dropped back 

into my life, 

unexpectedly...

and

like magic

you were all i could think of.

Last time you weren't ready.

You pushed

and pushed

until away 

was my only 

option.

Now, it's different

you are pulling

and pulling

and everything 

in my being

wants to be swept 

closer to you

until there is

nothing

not even air

between us.

But life has been lived

and choices made...

where allowing myself

to be pulled

into you

isn't as easy

as it would have been

before.

I don't know how it will work

or when...

I just know that it will.

If your heart

and my head

will let it.

If we can both

believe,

patiently.

All the days of

"away"

will be 

nothing but

faded memory.

Penelope Jones

Penelope is a free-spirited, tell it like it is poet and storyteller.

  

Much of her work is done by free-writing, which is the "spill it out and don't look back" approach.  

It's honest, pure, sometimes rough and always raw.  She, like so many of us,  has seen tragedy and felt triumph, 

all of which echoes through her words beautifully.  

She is a light, a true beacon and an excellent traveling companion for those who like to trek unbeaten paths.  

She believes in adventure, in packing light, that cussing is therapeutic and that love is always worth it.
