Spinning out of control Into the wall I crashed Breaking me to pieces All hope forever dashed In pieces I blow about Twirling in the breeze Floating with out direction Falling into the seas Drowning in confusion My mind in disarray Emotions suffocate me My sanity begins to fray Illusions fill my head Intricate thoughts surreal Trespassing in my dreams Delusions? Or are they real? Suddenly……. The lost pieces of this puzzle- Are carefully put back into place Awakened, from this numbness My eyes caress your sweet face An angel sent to me From way up on high Piercing into my heart Forever holding you nigh Warmth washes over me Strength holds on to me tight Cradled in serene gentle hands Keeping me safe through the night |

I too am out of breath after this poem...phew.. frantic and fantastic... need a rest...wonderful poem...phew. ------------------------ "Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints. Kill nothing but time". Baltimore Grotto "To be nobody-but-yourself-in a world which is doing its best night and day, to make you everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting." E.E Cummings. "Art is a lie which makes us realise the truth." Pablo Picasso "We Irish are too poetical to be poets, we are a nation of brilliant failures" Oscar Wilde ----- |

Brian, Sven, Aleisha & Danny... Thanks you all so much for your great comments. I seem to have left a few of you breathless. I'll take that as a good thing! For me anyway....Didn't mean to leave you out of breath!  Thanks a million to you all!  ~Sheri |

Love the title and after reading the content I find the entire work smooth and fulfilling. "Warmth washes over me strength holds on to me tight cradled in serene gentle hands -" |
