Falling Gently

Falling Gently To the earth below Snowflakes Freezing A blanket of snow Falling Gently From Heaven above Raindrops Dripping Rhythm of true love Falling Gently Ever so slowly Teardrops Streaming Leaving me lonely Falling Gently My soul yours to take Wholly Boldly My heart please don’t break Copyright © 2009 Lena “Lolita” Townsend

I love the tenderness this projects; it's just breathe taking... Love and Light...LaBella

I glimpsed this the other day and thought, what an absolutely beautiful poem! So soft and gentle! Warm and tender! And I knew that it was a wonderful reflection of the beautiful heart and soul which wrote it! And it painted yourself so very very lovely Lena! Beyond any simple words really! Astoundingly Precious Dear~Within Every Possible Way!:)~My love always to you and your loves gifted lady, john!~Have a gorgeous day dear~bye!:)

This is very provacative. It makes me think of a feather (like the one in Forrest Gump) that's falling slowly to the ground. You don't really know where it will land though but it always falls very gently, like it's in no hurry. Interesting form too, I don't know if I've ever seen something like it before.

I am still reading more of you, trying to link your words into a self knowledge of you. There is so much tenderness in your write, so much quiet pain, and still cold milk fresh from the farm, it makes me want to drink.
