How fragile the edge of this life and times to crumble at thoughts of needs and desires and drop the people from stability into the arms of possibility. And in those depths of possibility there’s a view past normality and the vision lands for a fraction or more on what can be that was never before. But to hold that vision forever in mind blinds men and women to this life and times and imposes a walk unsteady and slow until the heart no longer grows. So climbs a woman, you, me, and all back up from a need, desire, and more till bruised and battered we again stand firm and upright upon the land. The edge, the edge, I know how it calls all who desire the “not ere before” and I mourn that fall weightless and free into the arms of possibility! Helen / 31 December 2008 |

This is most excellent... and so very true!!! *S* Those glorious possibilities sometimes do blind us to reality... but a life without them is simply in wait of knowing them again. *S* |

 And what you say is so very true. I was going to end up with the "fall, fall again" but I think I've learnt the merits of standing tall - yeah, so I say!Thanks! Helen |

Helen, You are my 'Poet of the Day' - I am in love with what you are writing. This is so true and understated in its message; which, to me, makes it that much more powerful. Thank you for writing and sharing. Alison |

I like the idea of falling into the arms of possibility though for me that could mean many diffferent things. Ida |

Thank you all so very much. I've been away for a few days but all good things must come to an end (so they say) and it's back to work and normality tomorrow. Wishing you all a very happy New Year. Helen |
