Falling Together

Um this kind of never happens. Two posts in a day? I'm coping, ok? And here's a fresh off the press poem. Which means maybe it's in need of editing? But here it is. 


Falling is always the freest thing
Scary for what it leaves behind:
The solid footing you took for granted
When forming dreams in the sky.
The air is gray and crisp
And my fingers are tingling with the chill
Of October coming into town
My heart is aching with wonder
The distance between us is too much
The person there to care for you
Is driving away to beat the sunset
So we reach out into nothing
Locking eyes in our memories
Pretending not to be afraid
Hoping for a soft landing soon.

  1. thanks for commenting! I am finding it's easier to just to post back on the other person's wall so they know you read their comment! One thing I don't like about the blogging is having to go back and look at their page to see if they answered! I was reading about your mom earlier and hope all is well on that end! I will pray for your family and that things go as they should and she will be well taken care of! And for you that you can cope being far away and have peace and not worry about her! I was going to comment earlier but I have been busy cooking all day! And it's pretty messy so I haven't had time to blog much besides read them! I liked inception, def not a good movie to watch while you are sleepy! the lincoln lawyer was a bit easier to comprehend lol One day I hope we have a home office! right now the kitchen table is our office!
