FRIDAY WRITINGS # 211... POETS and STORY TELLERS UNITED


  

at night
you enter my thoughts
time after time

if you fall i will catch you
i'll be with you
time after time
i may teeter gasp
but I will never let you go

you are the shadow
half caught
in the corner of my eye
the distant wistful thought
on my pillow at night

when it's time
i will take your hand
swan dive with you
bathed in sunshne and smiles
into the starched white crest
of a giant ocean wave
