She reached with trembling hands
In the one direction
She knew she shouldn’t

Precariously she traveled
To the edge of deaths ledge
Desperate to feel anything
Craving his rejection

She raised her arms
As if to take flight
The ground shook violently
Breaking night’s silence

She heard the hoof beats
Coming hard and fast
Over her shoulder
Half beast
Half man

He snatched her away
From deceptions cruel embrace
With the key in possession
He spirited her away

To gaze no longer
Into the blackened abyss
Reliving past mistakes
Suffering fools pain

I’ve been out and about today – wandering aimlessly, lazily, with no responsibility to speak of and lots of things to think about – and so I did what I do best – escape. Not into the darkness of my room and the comfort of my bed, but rather into the world, with words to keep me company – reading and writing for most of the day – while the sun shone upon me, filling me with warmth that soothed my troubles, along with the words.

I came home and turned on the computer, not really sure if I wanted to, but certainly glad I did, when I came across my friend, Dennis’ post – Miss Lily.

This is a place I go often, when my heart and soul are in need of a quick pick-me-up, as his images and words have never failed me. It’s nice to know that in this crazy, delusional cyber world of make-believe, where people pretend to be all sorts of things they aren’t and everyone’s motive seems to be, take – take – take that I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to come to know someone so talented and genuine in their caring, kindness and overall goodness.

Thank you, my mountain-man friend, for brightening my world with your beauty!

Peace & Love,
Jill
