Standing firm on not so solid ground |

Topping the mountain she stood firm arms crossed said no not this time. You won't get to me again. But he spoke and the earth shook tremulously, walked toward her and her feet shifted uneasily. He smiled that smile and something simply shimmied out from under her. She went weak in the knees. Panic set in, she fought the inevitable, with every ounce of her being but running does no good, when you can't lift your feet. One arm slipped around her waist, and just before the blindfold was applied, he lifted her face to his and granted her last wish. |

Hi! Welcome to passions : ) I am enjoying this poem, my favorite line was "but running does no good, when you can't lift your feet." I know exactly what you mean! Please check your email for a special greeting! RP |

This reminded me of an old Carol King tune, "I feel the earth, move, under my feet" Yes, it's hard to run when you've been swept off your feet. Welcome to the blue pages! |
