Feet planted pure
in their nakedness
alone
Stand with me here
upon this world of stone

Atlantic crashing
madly rehashing
speaking to me in waves below
OH!

so close to the edge . . .

Float with me
within this realm
weightlessly leaving
thrice weaving

send me home to the place of my birth

Wild wind whispering
soul singing
it is time
to decide

  to fly . . .

Sky above me
sea below
Four corners pulling
me to go

Echoes in sleep
sweet slumber
deep
Turn and awake
last chance
to glance
at this place

I leap

You evoked immense forces here .... ready to leap, the soul's longing is exquisitely expressed.
I miss your picture, but I carry your smile in my heart ...
Wonderful write!
Love, Margherita

liked this piece very much,
with feet on the ground
you have sailed the seas
flying thru your thought's
and
" I leap "

Clearly crafted imagery.  Well done.

No one needs a parachute, just let go of the rope and be free.

Thank you for sharing this.

Wow, but this just doesn't seem right. Someone like you shouldn't be feeling this.
You are too young to be going through these things. As soon as I started reading this seems my mind just flew through it. Wow, again.
Love,
Terri~
