The only thing certain about life<\/p>\n
Is that nothing remains the same,<\/p>\n
Everything will change,<\/p>\n
People will come and go,<\/p>\n
Hearts and souls<\/p>\n
Will be rearranged,<\/p>\n
As time and tide wait for no man<\/p>\n
And you pack all your worldly goods into a removal van.<\/p>\n
The next chapter calls for a change of scene,<\/p>\n
To shake things up a bit<\/p>\n
And start afresh –<\/p>\n
I know exactly what you mean,<\/p>\n
It’s just that I haven’t quite finished this <\/em>chapter yet,<\/p>\n But worry not, I’ll soon be gone<\/p>\n Because that’s what life’s about – moving on<\/p>\n To stagnate would be a mistake,<\/p>\n I need to accelerate<\/p>\n So you don’t overtake<\/p>\n And leave me behind<\/p>\n Life’s\u00a0invitation to settle\u00a0has been declined.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n (c) Gemma Hinton 14\/06\/15<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The only thing certain about life Is that nothing remains the same, Everything will change, People will come and go, Hearts and souls Will be rearranged, As time and tide wait for no man And you pack all your worldly goods into a removal van….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":252,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-marathon-poem"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/252"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11137"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11255,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11137\/revisions\/11255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thepoetrymarathon.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
