Holding Aside Life slides by like a riot on a water slide, all noise and flailing fools fighing gravity and each other, losing altitude even while they chortle over what they call winning, whining imagined losses or revelling in the shallow speed. I wait quiet here on the margin, safe; content to hold the steady edge a while, share what’s shared. Still, solid, while the hullabaloo reels past, I am patient, confident. They will do what they will do. Loving you is what I do. |

There you stand, steadfast and true In waters still, beyond the hullabaloo. ~ And still waters run deep!   EA |

Life slides by like a riot on a water slide, I LOVE THAT LINE!!! It's evokes such unique imagery. Where did you think that one up?! all noise and flailing fools fighing gravity and each other, losing altitude even while they chortle over what they call winning, whining imagined losses or revelling in the shallow speed. I wait quiet here on the margin, safe; content to hold the steady edge a while, share what’s shared. Still, solid, while the hullabaloo reels past, I am patient, confident. They will do what they will do. Loving you is what I do. I really like this strong ending. I have a "thing" for poems that end with--how should I word it?--I don't know how to word it but this endings one of them!LOL! Keep up the great work. I'm hooked to your poems already! |
