- Crystal -

If you think life is like walking on a crystal staircase Simple and easy Bright and sparkling Blind, naive and dreamy An angel with the wings on each side of the steps Your heart would be broken You must not stumble Your strength Weakness Foolishness Red blood trails in shining crystal staircase Leaving behind tears for lost dream Life consists of realities - longing and harmony Winnie the Pooh with honey pot A tidal wave of joy All the dazzling stars shine brighter than hoped Walk of life staircase is an art which everyone must learn But no one can teach you The staircase of life are not made of shiny crystal 09.03.2014 A-L Andresen :) - My english is my second language - Sponsor: Nette Onclaud Contest Name: Metaphor: CRYSTAL Deadline 06/04/2014 (6th in the contest)

Skriving er utmerket for et andrespråk. Jeg skulle ønske jeg kunne lese norsk .

Ahh,,, You write of Winnie the Pooh!!!... I love you for that Annelise(the way I write your name, is deliberate :) Yours is a beautiful name, said it before too, Yes :) and coming back to the poem, Excellently written and rightly said,, not a shiny Crystal staircase,, but having said that.. we can still try and keep it simple and Sparkling. Not impossible! Not if we send a jar of honey to all... hmm would love doing that... sending your way lots of smiles and hugs
