Hi Ink, I really like this

Hi Ink, I really like this 'little' write. The second stanza especially speaks to me. Is the 'gaping abyss' a positive or a negative image for you in this case? (Forgive my ignorance ; ) ~Stella

Stella,

I´m not sure whether it´s a positive or a negative image. It´s the lack of something where there used to be something, if you know what I mean. But the dreamer feels drawn there...Maybe it´s neither positive nor negative, it simply exists... Thanks for reading, always a pleasure to hear from you, Ink

Ink, thank you for your

Ink, thank you for your explanation, it's more or less what I'd 'hoped' and why the stanza appeals to me so much. Maybe it's just because it's safe there? I'm not someone who is drawn to the 'negative' but I am a dreamer (bordering delusional at times ; ) Thanks Ink ~Stella

This poem is alive!

The Cosmic Yes I am told if walking is the practice of gracefully not falling that dancing must be the practice of falling in ascent and on the edge of this abyss you dance with the grace of unknowing and yet you dance flames firing as your hair into the sky surrendered to the ecstatic cosmic rhythm of your heart. ------------------- I love this poem. -Michael

Yup, yup!

Here's to dreams. And my hat's well doffed. Wouldn't nights be insufferably boring without 'em? Thanx, Chuck

Diatom Shells,

thanks for dropping by. This poem is describing an image that popped into my head, unbidden, and wouldn't go away, so I tried to write it off. Glad to see that I seem to have described it well. Yours, ~Nina

Nina, I enjoyed this. Although it was short it was full of meaning~ P.S. Lookng for your skating on thin ice poem? _____________________________________________________ Income-tax forms should be more realistic by allowing the taxpayer to list "Uncle Sam" as a dependent Anonymous

Janice,

thanks for the read and the comment, much appreciated. Funny that you refer to "That winter" as "Skating on thin ice", that was the title of my first draft. Sometimes I wonder if my subconscious is leaking and some of you sensitive people here are picking it up... Yours, ~Nina
