surrender
to the void,
drifting
slowly
towards
weightlessness,
emptiness,
self/nonself,
awaiting
my return,
finding
lost wings
again,
beginnings,
on the
edge of
endings,
three steps
forward,
two steps
back,
do I dare
take it all,
fading,
falling,
flying,
rejoicing,
hanging on,
sky falling
into the
sea,
sea rising
meeting sky,
no separtion
no fear,
hear the call
everything/nothing
awaits,
shedding
layers,
exposing
who i
was,
but
please
take my hand,
and
meet me there,
i am still
afraid

Yes, and that is just about the point where faith steps in, and a deeper belief in something other than self....at least that is how it was for me in the what seems like hundred of free falls I did.....

enjoyed this a lot...

Hugs, Pat

3 steps forward 2 steps back means you are getting ahead slowly but surely. When you find your courage you will do the right thing for you. Look for the hand thats extend and grasp it. Take the hand and enclose it in yours. Walk hand in hand if even for a little while. And smile that bright smile even if it hides the pain, the disappointments. Have a piece of chocolate and get in the mood.

Michele, I know this feeling very well. Even with all the love that my Love and I have between us, I still get so afraid sometimes that something unforeseen may happen. But, I'm so glad that both of us are taking the chance that we can make it down this road of life together.
I know how hard it is when you've taken a chance and it falls through again, even though you've put everything you have into the relationship.
Good luck, sweet Lady.....

Conflicting emotions, don't you hate it?

Hey but you manage to spill them nicely..

What's up with that ink you're using,
I gotta get me some!

Good write Michele~

This had the feeling of falling, and I was swept within it...
Found the rip cord to the parachute...sometimes even wings are not enough... All prayers to you my friend.
