Ledge

On this ledge I sit Contemplating tomorrow Will it be a different day Or the same old sorrow Even the clouds Look as gloomy as me Grey and ashen Soon we could both be free Below me the waters Image where I sit A mirrored calm As if it's knowing where I'll hit Behind me there's a trickle Drip drip, like the clock of time My tears hit the mirror So close to the end of mine On this ledge where I sat Out of body looks down on me You really had to be there To know what it's like to be free http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-8.php

If I were sitting next to you on the ledge right now, I'd take your hand and we could plunge into the waters together. This is a powerful poem, James. One for my favorites! Love, Carolyn

An out of body experience .. astral planing .. its a scary thing James but u have written it so very well.. a friend of mine does it constantly ..each time harder to get back into the physical body as the spirit likes the freedom it feels.. this is a great poem to enter in Syed's contest unless u have already.. am going to send it to my favs for future reference.. with luv from the "Sweetheart"
