Falling Down, down, down Into the worm hole Get a grip Lest you slip From reality… Spinning Round, round, round Out of control Holding on Must be strong Or live in misery… Floating Gone, gone, gone In deepest space Travelling free Divorced from me Lost within the night… Falling Down, around With stomach lurch Hang on and pray No way, no way Always wake in fright… Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant - Thoreau |

Lynne...The title of this one caught me (being the '60's hippie I was). This so well describes those middle-of-the-night occurences...that return to haunt us, when we feel ourselves slipping over the edge into the abyss. Well done. Hardrock |

remember what the doormouse said,feed your head.... Lewis Carroll (and JA) had a vivid way of projecting that image of confusion,fright,and just plain strangeness...this poem has the same effect,well done!!Falling over the edge isn't just a drive on a sunday afternoon,it's turbulent and bumpy,good read. swamp |

interesting poem. I enjoyed it. Thought provoking. :?) Ronil (The sweet sound of summer sends serenity through my soul searching for that evermore solitude.) |

This sounds like a bad dream where I fall off the bed.  Joy |
