Linking with Imaginary Gardens for "Camera FLASH" Brought to us by Kerry
"Nature is a haunted house ~but art~ is a house that tries to be haunted."
~ Emily Dickinson
The memory of slipping has its hold on me
so I fight the fall with all the strength I have
grasping at straws like they are railing
on the empire state building
trying to control a fall
is similar to trying to restrain a bullet
after the trigger has been pulled
but still I try with diligence
each step carefully laid out
like a Methodist worship service
but the hymnal is not in my hands
one cannot hold faith and fear
so fiercely at the same time
letting go requires a certain courage
the kind of strength that trees and rivers know.
