Hello-o!  Anybody home?!?
It's time to get the show on the road!
Knock!  Knock!  Wake up you numbskull!
...Is anybody in there?!?
I've been cruising along on automatic pilot
and care not where I've been or where I'm going.
...H-E-L-P!!!...I'm falling!*!
Who clipped my celestial wings?!?
I'm now in a downward spiral
--grounding experience---if I survive the fall!*!
This dose of reality can't be what the doctor
  ordered!
...What's that you say?
Stand up straight!?
Get my act together!?
...Thanks--but no thanks.
I prefer my head above the clouds
---the sun shines more brightly up there.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Thanks for the feedback! When I wrote this a few years ago, the words came out exactly as you see them. I didn't edit a thing. Just proves that when you write with passion, the words just come. Almost like automatic writing!

Love, Light & Laughter

Dear Linda, after reading this poem once more, I find that I rather like the 'in your face' attitude. You should claim your power more often. So fix those celestial wings of yours and fly up above the clouds where the sun shines more brightly.

Love, Light & Looney Toons
Linda
