The earth moved beneath my feet.
Emotions such a fickle thing.
Grasping for the joy, falling and failing
softness of the heart, chilling, hardening to stone.

Hope floats, hanging near the edge
wing and a prayer, all will be fine
then its dust, dust in the wind
and raindrops hanging on the pines
slipping off the edge, deep into the night. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 220 [topic] => 48 [informant] => shelby [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

The edge

I stood at the very edge of my sorrow.
I held it firm in both hands.
It slipped through my fingers
mixed with air,wind,fire and water.

The earth moved beneath my feet.
Emotions such a fickle thing.
Grasping for the joy, falling and failing
softness of the heart, chilling, hardening to stone.

Hope floats, hanging near the edge
wing and a prayer, all will be fine
then its dust, dust in the wind
and raindrops hanging on the pines
slipping off the edge, deep into the night.
