A Captive Soul

Silently....

Here I stand at the edges
overlooking the cliffs below
remembering how we once soared
like an eagle
wings spreading far and wide
touching  eternity, in awe of each other.

Off in the distance I hear the rumblings,
a forecasting of the storm to come,
foreboding, as darkest of thoughts
begin to seep into my head
and shutting my eyes I try to feel
the winds warmth kissing me,
as your lips once had,
instead of the chill beginning now to cloak.

For a moment, my spirits are lifted
Everything becomes peaceful again
I feel you beckoning to me
to join you in the hereafter.
Taking a deep breath, I turn slowly
walk away from the edge
blink back the tears,
and begin my decline...

Maureen, you about stopped my heart! that edge sounded so beautiful so liberating... but im glad you turned away....we need your beautiful words....(though truly im assuming the speaker really isnt you, i hope!)...dont tempt me with flight sweet poet...for im prone to jump without wings and without regret! *smile*

whatcha doing in this darkness baby
when you know love will set you free?
will you stay in the sea forever
Drowning there for all eternity? ~Live

Sorry that you are not feeling well...perhaps you should take that bath early....very solemn piece here

Jamie...you must be soon tiring of reading and responding to me..I think I could use braille and feel your words under mine
