Life Between Our Plans
29th December 2007 by Don Iannone

Remember when you were ten
and thought at twenty-one
you’d be all grown up and perfectly happy?

Then, when you were thirteen
your father dropped dead of a heart attack
and your family all but fell apart.

Remember when you were twenty-one
and thought at forty
you’d have life all figured out?

Then, just as you finished college at twenty-two
you became pregnant with Jessica
and your plans to become a trial lawyer ended.

Remember when you were forty-five
all three kids were on their own, and you thought
you could launch a writing career?

Then, two days after your first book was accepted
your mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and
all your energy shifted to caring for her.

Remember when you were sixty-five
had published eight books, and you thought
Tom and you could finally relax and smell the roses?

Then, when you were sixty-seven
Tom died after a prolonged battle with cancer
and Jessica entered rehab for alcoholism.

Remember just yesterday, on your eighty-third birthday
you marveled at how life seems to happen
in between all the plans we make?

Nothing could be more true.

Note: Don Iannone is the author of two published poetry books. Stilling the Waters was published in 2005 by Medicine Wheel Publishing, and Walks in Life’s Sacred Garden, which was released in May 2007 by BookSurge (an Amazon.com company).

View On Black
Gears: Nikon D50 and Tamron SP 70-210mm F/3.5 Model 19AH, Manual Focus, Sunny-16 Metering ;)
Location: Losong, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia
Processing: No processing and cropped 16:9 with PSCS2

I very much like the idea of taking that leap into the shadows, that plunge into the unknown...

For most of my film works, I've also put up a new gallery on Leica User Group HERE

Cooling down... That's what
boys do... naturally

They fire each other... one, two, three
and the last one trails behind...

They jump... again and again
until all fears are washed away....

I'd be like the boy still waiting. Just making sure everyone else is okay and that it is okay to jump! Taking chances are great, but sometimes just taking a step back and waiting just an extra second or so works well too!

Beautiful capture my friend. I love these photos you take of the people! So much fun!

OMG, I'm so glad at last someone noticed that, after so many comments.

T, that was my original intention, often when we're sad we tend to keep things to ourselves. This photo encourages us to jump off, be someone totally different, and better still make a big turnaround... do something... be a rebel against the situation!
