The moments before a nice day

Spin the plates, spin the plates, spin the plates If anything hits the fan... No Spin the plates, spin the plates, spin the plates It will all fall down... No Breathe. No. Yes.... One step at a time (into oblivion) Further in, further in, further in I will rattle this breath into my lungs if it kills me (That's the spirit) Just take a step, a step, a step Momentum, cling to it. The end/beginning/middle

I got little worried the plates might break or something as i read this, for some reason i imagined a chef spinning plates, how creative would that be! Im not a kitchen person so i have no clue about plates and i would not have thought of this line " spin the plates" which i think is unique! I still do wish dear dd i could come up with clever ideas like you do; take it from the mundane turn it into poetry! Pleasur reading this ! Sending you light

It's an old magicians trick of spinning plates and getting back to them before they fall. It's tricky but they might have many spinning on wobbly sticks! Thanks for your comment x

I enjoyed reading your powerful write. One step with each day at a time. "Good Luck" if for a contest. Have a blessed day............

One step forward and two steps back? I can only breathe easy about this one because of the title. Stuck in the middle with you. That's the second song you've led me to today, Dilly.

Haha yeah I all panned out just fine Lin, I just find it interesting to time capsule a moment sometimes and then reflect on it later. We are all usually a lot stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Thanks for bringing the party to this one with the song :)
