On the Edge of a Dream

envelope quintet

Legs and feet are in stocks, no sound from my voicebox 
at one edge of a dream, I want to scream.
On the other side lies long-awaited surprise
After panting upstream, pushing sweat to extreme
my voice  unlocks, "She's beautiful!" Motherhood rocks.

Hi, Reason, I am just seeing my winners by typing in the title of all the entries called On the Edge of a Dream , because the winners list won't come up for my contest. If I recall, yours placed either 7th or 8th. It was very different from the others the way you took the theme to to motherhood!! Congrats in my contest.
