Teardrop Fall Face Images


face-down

morning cup of tea
grateful for feet on the floor
no falling face-down

I read this the other day, Marti, and was just held by the power of your words.  I think the picture almost detracts from the words - if that makes sense.  This is excellent writing - I am always a fan of yours.

Thank you Alison. I loved the pix and guess I should have made it smaller. However, so many days I feel this color but am also grateful to get both feet on the floor. I went a whole day today without falling. I just hate MS!!!

I knewiit was about your MS - and that really touched my heart.  I like the picture too.  Maybe next time put the poetry first and then the picture under it? I dunno.  I just know that this is wonderful writing.

Love you,
A

I could not see any "words" on my screen so I went into your edit and found them there.  I can just imagine waking up each day is always a question, and sometimes you don't like the answer.

Misty - I didn't know about the MS. The picture and words says much. Wish you well...

Thanks Bill! MS sucks big time but I try not to let it get to me! I can only write haikus these days though and I hate that! Brain barely works!!
