Living Life In Free Fall

Living life in free fall
looking down far below
praying that someone 
will come along
to save my soul.

Trying to walk on air
grasping at the wind
I fall faster
and faster.
Not knowing when
I will hit the ground
or who will mourn
my demise
and impending
disaster.

The last thing in this poem, I feel it too, but we must live for ourselves we will know nothing of who mourns us if any so why worry my friend [I'm talking to myself too!][ What a lovely thing to say to me :) I enjoy writing in Scots & Irish dialect, mostly no one reads it, they must take the time read it aloud, the brogue has such charm & I'm sure I don't 'ave it a' right yet!] Light & Love

So true Debbie, but so sad too. I love your work and the brouge, I can't pretend Robbie's beautiful work and the likes are not always easy to understand., but I think you did. real justice with your excellent write. I also like the fact, you are keeping the dialect alive, and bringing it to a wide audience. to appreciate. such things are part of all of us. Thank you so much take good care. Pete.
