~*~
On edge
of ledge,
of precipice,
I teeter
to and fro.
My wings
are clipped,
I cannot fly,
then down
like rock,
I go.

Faster,
faster,
down I go,
spinning
'round
and 'round.
Death awaits,
if I don't wake,
before
I hit
the ground.

~*~

Oh Linda, don't fall. Do you want us to put a safety net of arms under you to catch you? We will.  
Hugs to you, sweet lady

hm... hope you wake soon..
or rather
find a dream.
closing up your nightmare seams..

Blink and awake
soft
as warm lake
the dream that you dream
ice cream...

"If all my friends jumped off a cliff,
I wouldn't jump with them.
I would be at the bottom to catch them."


I'm waiting with my arms wide open and a safety net.

I'm sprinkling you with faery dust, now awake from your slumber.

Loves and Grins, Marti

Yes, I have! I miss my family! My Mom, my Dad, my sister and my nephew who is like a son, all just moved thousands of miles away! I manage during the day to keep things in perspective and be happy for them all, but lately when
I am sleeping, I have been having nightmares! Oh, well--and this too shall pass!

Huggums snuggums,

I'm with Ethel and Marti...waiting with arms open to
catch you...because that's what friends are for.

Hugs,

Ethel ~

How sweet--"put a safety net of arms under you to catch you"...

--Okay! Please do! Until I'm over this initial hump of my birth family all moving thousands of miles away!

I'm bigger than a bread box! I wouldn't want to break your arms! If you joined Ethel and the other Pipsters she may be gathering, it might lessen the blow!

Luvvums,

I felt as if I was actually falling and I could picture the scene. Very well written with a great ending...

"Death awaits,
if I don't wake,
before
I hit
the ground."

Earth Angel,

If it's a dream or even reality at all
Just know I am your kinder place to fall...

I understand... and there are many friends here. Sincerely, Sauni.

The "S" in Saunni stands for sweetness, sincerity--and sugar & spice!

Sweet dreams!
