Free Fall
,(Inspired by JerryPat2- Heart Laid Bare)


I free fall

without a parachute

grasping at words

that would lift me up


My arms, legs

spread wide

struggling desperately

to slow my decline


It isn't the fall

that hurts

they say,

it's the sudden

stop

Thank you immensely, my gifted friend, for using my poem as a springboard for this little gem. Yes indeed, and you betcha, it's always that sudden stop that's the main problem. Thanks again

Visualization, great visual...

Love is 100% give, and never take.
But if given, receive with gratitude and a humble heart.

Enjoyed your write.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
