to walk the skies
gravity my pursuer
(or is it my shadow?)
words echoing in my mind
        you can run my dear
                 but you can't hide
fear
    of falling
              down
                  down
                      down
in the realization that i already have.

~Hey there,...first let me say that I am so diggin' the title. That in itself could be a poem. As for the rest,...well, it definately gets the gears moving and keeps them moving. A thinker. A well written thinker. Yeah, that's it. Take care. Oh and thanks for the question to ponder on. *Peace.

beautifully simplistic and mysterious.  Sometimes the best poems are the ones that only make the best sense to you.

shira,

you are becoming a feeling factory

relentlessly churning out emotions encapsulated in words of pain and beauty.

it may be located within, but all of your readers delight to breathe in its intoxicating fumes.

one day though, i hope that maybe you can fire the bellows with thoughts of happiness rather than purely-burning sadness.

a sweet poem of self-analysis

josh.
