Winter Wings

~FALLING, without winter wings~ CC My mind sometimes goes there, somewhere, nowhere, amongst the shooting shining stars, floating like in a womb, yet not afraid, free falling flakes, weightless – wondering why, where from the highest branch I lost my grip gasping, grasping and tumbling hopelessly DOWN AND DOWN DEEP… into the unknown PD DOWN AND DOWN DEEP, I allowed myself to fall like a raindrop, landing a little like winter, holding my breath, above the mountaintop, a tremble brought about by the breeze, losing myself completely, Wandering in welters of wasted words, into the fire of all my torrid tears, I slip into despair into the cold, a chilling fall, after LETTING GO… CC LETTING GO was the hard part, the horrid heartbreak, it always will be. We had climbed so high, so high we had to come down and as we stumbled we slipped we slid, slowly away from one another because we had lost ourselves, our own identities. My journey now must be to like -- LOVE MYSELF AGAIN. PD LOVE MYSELF AGAIN, a never-ending task. Holding on to what was and always will be a falling star. Wishing, the wind would lift us up and put us back were we belong. Sinking, dipping, dropping, and drowning with the sea, A path I seek when I find myself losing grip of reality. A Collaboration By;PD

PD/Linda: Your facility with words astonishes me. This is masterfully composed—a stellar collaboration. "Wandering in welters of wasted words" would make Gerard Manley Hopkins proud. Wonderful!

This poem has a very surreal feeling to it. I can relate to the feelings of losing grip of reality and trying to love myself everyday. Which sometimes feels impossible to do...I really loved this poem, Linda, it is very deep and soulful. Excellent work!...Thank you for the nice comments, my friend! :)

Beautiful collaboration, PD and CC! They say in order to love another one must first learn to love oneself...not being too hard on yourself as each of us is still growing along the path of life. Amazing writing as always! Love, Annalise

I did a collaboration once before... but it turned out nothing like this! This was brilliant... I loved how each verses end became the next one's beginning. It made the transition of subject matter feel a lot smoother. May you always take that path/ when things go outta whack/ the windiest trails/ leads to the loveliest tales... fully enjoyed!
