Unsteady up top
when I'm flying so high
seeking a thrill
with my head in the clouds.

A gust in the wind
is all that it takes
to loosen my grip
sent over the edge.

Hung in the balance
pushing my limits
hanging on for dear life
letting go all at once.

Harness me in
and tighten the straps
so I won't fall too hard
when I finally land.

Springing loose from the ties
with both feet on the ground
let me down easy
so I don't bottom out...

*sigh* I wish I could be let down easy sometimes...it seems like too often in life we aren't. I like your style of writing, and I can definitely relate. Exellent poetry!

I'd rather be dropped like a rock than 'let down easy'. But I certainly appreciate the sentiment, one does 'seem' kinder.

Forgetting all I'm lacking
Completely and complete
I'll take your invitation
You take all of me

Noah~ Safe is as secure as we allow ourself to be.   It's not always that easy to buckle up!  Thanks so much for being so nice to me.

Jeff~ We've both got our bruises, I'm just grateful that time has healed our wounds.   I appreciate your thoughts and kindness.  Thanks~

Alwye~ I haven't landed yet but I'm counting on my feet to hold me up! Thank you for reading and leaving your sweet reply~

Kris~ Your reply is music to my ears and I like the way it sounds.  Thank you kindly~

Duncan~  Ok, easy does it buster, this woman's threshold for pain isn't what it used to be.  I'll just wave at you when you're dropping by while I take my own sweet time getting there.   It's good to see you here Duncan~  Thanks!

when I first read the title, i thought of an andrew lloyd webber song, with lyrics "let me down easy, no big song and dance" if only we could always be let down easy.

its amazing what one single word can do.

Thanks Sandra~ coming in for a landing any minute now! Wish me luck!

Lyra~ Thank you, you can bet I'm not into free falling.

Hugging you back!

darkling~ One of these days I won't fall for it anymore.

Thanks

Larry~ Don't tell me Duncan was bouncing, (I wouldn't want to miss anything) he wanted to be dropped like a rock! You've go the right idea Larry, 'it's the only way to go' huggers~
