Morning pushes through the cobwebs I am cocooned in, stale thoughts and half remembered dreams that cling and keep the past around me, holding me back, keeping me from risk, from life which, after all, is all about risk and the deep abiding faith that life is good that must exist before we take it. Life is always living on the edge because we just don't know, for sure, if there is another breath, another heartbeat waiting in the second after this one, if turning left will take us safe to work or to the store or pull us, unsuspecting to our final rendezvous with fate, or turning right will ring the bells of jackpot and bury us in wealth, in love or perhaps, just bury us. I breathe deep to clear the pathways in my mind, my body, to set them free to take that step, turn left, turn right as fancy dictates, just balanced on the edge, full of the knowledge that I do not know, the shadow echoing my movements makes light intensely bright, the knowledge that I do not have forever gives now eternal sweetness as I eat the moment embracing the present with all the fibres of my soul.
Konigsberg: She is good at it "...as I eat the moment embracing the present with all the fibres of my soul." Unusual allegory .... It reminds me of Stephen King's Tommyknockers .... I can't explain why though
Morning, morning Trish ... I still under impression of those Rose Gardens ... this is a heartbreaker but being realistic ... I heal my soul with an ability to grow Pupaver radicutum (Arctic Poppy) here

I am cocooned in, stale thoughts and
half remembered dreams that cling
and keep the past around me,
holding me back, keeping me from risk,
from life which, after all, is all about risk
and the deep abiding faith that life is good
that must exist before we take it.
Life is always living on the edge
because we just don't know, for sure,
if there is another breath, another heartbeat
waiting in the second after this one,
if turning left will take us safe
to work or to the store
or pull us, unsuspecting
to our final rendezvous with fate,
or turning right will ring the bells
of jackpot and bury us in wealth,
in love or perhaps, just bury us.
I breathe deep to clear the pathways
in my mind, my body, to set them free
to take that step, turn left, turn right
as fancy dictates, just balanced
on the edge, full of the knowledge
that I do not know, the shadow
echoing my movements makes light
intensely bright, the knowledge
that I do not have forever
gives now eternal sweetness
as I eat the moment embracing
the present with all the fibres
of my soul.
