Fairytales and other Fables(C) Singleton 2008

Falling,
helplessly
tumbling
through the
looking glass,
the make-shift mirror,
the flat lined ocean,
and then
floating,
drowning,
buried in underwater
petticoats
and pretty little stories,
listening
for the quiet to come...
But she held the tickets,
the 50/50 raffle stubs,
the pink "Get out Free" cards
and it was raining,
and she was crying,
and tossing them overboard,
pennies in an endless fountain....
win, lose or draw....
bread crumbs
for hungry fish.....
I need a get out free
ReplyDeletecard
this morning
After that
15th hour
that made me
lose
my cool
Made me
rage
for the man
drowning
in his own lungs
that a
"its the end of my shift"
nurse refused to help...
Sometimes
we just need a bread
crumb
a rusted penny
a single drop
of peace
to save
us from ourselves
to help us
to remember
at days end
or beginning
"I can choose peace
rather
than
this"
My love to you beautiful friend,
M
and PS - A peaceful and wonderful Easter to you and yours!
50/50

half empty
and she does hold the tickets.

ReplyDelete"I can choose peace".....
That is the get out free card....
You know when I read this,
felt it,
heard it,
saw the corridors
in the womb of the night,
I had to send you
the only little wornout
faded pink tickets I had....
On wings....
Wishing you peace, my friend, and love....on this day....
Babs.....
Win, lose, draw,
it's all in what we choose....
Peace~love sweet one
