Petals From the Edge
Up on the edge I watched
the blackness turn a soft
cotton candy pink, ice cream
orange, and crayola lilac

Is it no wonder I create
my escape up here
His blanket of stars cover
me, when I'm chilled
and my words start to
fan a fire in my soul

Fingers reach for the record
button, or pen...sometimes
not fast enough, and I'm left
looking, longing...
   aching to create those images,
here
for you...
   up on the edge...

My head swims, and so many
words are caught within
my chest ... emotions swallowed
by this beauty
   this,
blush of heaven
exposed....
     and yet truly unseen
by the eye

To experience ...
  this, you hold your breath
eyes focused...but relaxed
   and you wait
listen...
  hush....slowly
very
   s l o w l y
as you exhale

Up, over the rim
bursting with hope
and life
   another reason
another gift
     a brand new day

And I smile, blow the
petals of the flower
I was holding into the
breeze...
into
  your dreams..

Packing away my things
I take another breath
and whisper...

      thank you

Very nice indeed!! Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

aching to create those images,
here
for you...
up on the edge...

Don't I know the feeling...
I thoroughly enjoyed your expression
and how you blew the petals at the end.

Really nice~
