Shining Stars ~~~  The walls have started to move again the elusive flicker beyond my sight I feel it then almost see it ~ There's something behind me Don't Look ! Dear God ... Make it Leave! ... what's that noise ... there it is again ... ..................................................................... ..... it's back in the wall ..... ok I can breathe ~ This is happening too often I need to get out get off this computer breathe fresh air ... and shout ~ I'll go for a walk round the block ... with the dog It's quarter to three and the snow's thick as fog ~ I lean back ... and get set as I open the gate the dog drags me through ... as if her sling shot could wait ~ My feet start to slide as we round the first curve Jump over two snow drifts and dragged through the third ~ A neighborhood cat steps out of the night "dear God hear my prayer get this cat out of sight " ~ A meow and a bark drifting loud down the street The leash I grip tight as I'm pulled off my feet ~ Every dog within earshot joins in the howl and I'm dragged through a bush before I throw in the towel ~ I lie there for ages heart pounding with fright I notice the snowflakes drift by out of sight ~ They dance and they swirl and they land on my nose My feet are so cold I can't wiggle my toes ~ Just then ... the snow ceases the night sky ... opens bright The stars ... how they glitter my God what a sight ~ Big dipper ... Orion they're all in the sky Then up walks my dog sticks her tongue in my eye ~ I spit and I sputter then get up on one knee As our neighborhood watch started laughing at me ~ They help me brush off chew the fat for a while We exchange a few laughs then head home with a smile ~ The dog had her walk and I needed a rest Now the walls are dead still ..... but ..... ....... the floor ....... ~~~ |

as long as the mouse (pad) has his cheese, you're ok! "Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell." Joan Crawford |
