Answered and Decided

my feet on the edge..

                      the icy cliff of life holds..

                                    arms spread wide, eyes closed..


            trying to swallow the air..

                            that's carrying my wings home..






inspired by Lizzy B.

Hmmm, headed home is right!! An interesting explanation for "Answered and Decided" here! I like this one. And say, you never had a ragtop? Then GET one. they are so cool. even though i will be in my 60's by the time I can get another one again(gotta wait now for Kia to become and OLD love before I get rid of her) I need to insist to my hubbie that my next car is gonna be convertible once again!!
