Precariously
Clinging to an anchor post
Water gems hold fast
Anyone love this song? I can’t help, but sing to it!
Hi,
Does anyone else struggle with the new reader? All the poetry I normally enjoy reading is now appearing unformatted, and appearing without line breaks in the appropriate places! Making it really difficult to read.
Anyone’s thoughts?
I dreamt my mother was drowning
She was already dead
I dreamt my mother was sinking
I tried to grab her head
I dreamt my mother was dying
I felt my panic rise
I dreamt I couldn’t save her
I woke to lonely cries
I heard my name being called
I turned but there was no one there
The sound hung like lost baggage
Waiting to be collected
My name was called and even though
There was no one there
I was not alone
Blue manages to break
A winter wonderland
Color between the lines
Being one with nature
Caught out in the rain
Lightning, cold and thunder
I try escape my pain
Angry skies begin to roar
Directed all at me
I stand my ground, refuse
To yield my liberty
My son
First from my womb
Growing up in the shadows
Of a baby girl
Turning into a man
Taking my breath away
Sparkling blue eyes
For all I’ve done wrong
I’ve been blessed
With a son
Like you
Your love held me captive
At times when I wanted to escape
Spread my wings and fly away
You held me close and loved me
When I shed tears
Your eyes shed silent tears
Merging with mine
I never doubted your love
When I couldn’t love myself
We said our vows
I gave myself to you
You gave your heart to me
And after all these years
Our fights and tears and joy and pain
I love you
And hope you still
Love me too

Ticking away
The time of our lives
The hands of a watch
