It Begins With A Spark






It begins with a spark

Ignites into a flame

It charges through your chest

It fills your lungs

Every breath you take burns within your throat

Your eyes water

Your head spins

Your legs are too heavy to move

You reach out...

Hoping to touch something

Hoping to feel something

Needing to hold anything for support

The tips of your fingers reach out a little farther

It's difficult to see through the fog

And then...

Something is there

Something to give you hope that not all is lost

There it is, almost out of reach, but still there

With one last belief in your own heart, you take that leap of faith

And hold onto the one thing you believe can save you.

You leap forward~

Love!

Lori, I can't believe I missed this lovely poem.
A very beautiful, but dangerous sentiment in these lines....."With one last belief in your own heart, you take that leap of faith

And hold onto the one thing you believe can save you.

Oh my, Yes please

Oh my God,  It's been awhile Everywhere you touched Screamed "Yes" for Miles My toes just curled... Oh, you've done that before? for me, that was new. My legs haven't tightened so much Really?  you do have a magic touch. "Um, may we do it again?" Of course, yes please... that was amazing yes, yes I'll squeeze Oh wait, don't let go I think I'm still  ~reacting~  We should make a note  to go there again... Wait, what? You believe once is enough? I think you're wrong! I'd like to dispute...  I think I'd like another No, I know I want another Lets get real close touch me here Oh yes for sure there can you get closer still? O'come on I need you  at least once more Really, You give in? I so enjoy the way you tease. Am I that easy? Oh, you're just enjoying what you've done! Either way What an amazing way to "play" today!

Your soul to keep

I want to float:  with the wind I want to sail  on top of the ocean, glide next to the waves before their  anger is broken. I want to feel: the beat of a warm heart pounding within my chest to a rhythm  that knows no pain. I want to touch: beauty in a kiss tears of joy happiness in love a kind mind a true embrace. I want to hear: lost words never spoken promises that will never be broken. I want to fly: spread unseen wings feel the sun heat each feather warm my blood  lift my soul inhale, breath, jump I'll fly

Life

A fish who longs to be in water A bird who can not wait to fly A snake who wishes to recoil  A mole searching for better ground Sky so lifted to give space Moon afraid to show his shape Hides behind a blanket of night Stars blink to share their light Oceans anger crashes down Beaches lying with the sand Rocks climb to stand tall Wind watches them all fall  Mountain tall enough to roar Let loose his inner being Earth was burned to begin again. Gave life back to the living.
