- My first post to this great newsgrop.
- A little something with no title since I couldn't make one up.
-
- ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
-
- Losing the foothold of life a little, floating up
- to new heights and soaring high above all the
- daily problems. Letting ones mind roam around
- freely within the space of thoughts and exploring
- new vast areas of thinking. Gaining new amazing
- powers of observation but still looking at the
- world as trough a whole array of smoothing
- glasses, filtering, leaving only the positive in
- things. Letting oneself slowly and gracefully
- fall and bounce up again on the endlessly soft and
- pink clouds of emotions filling the skies of the
- land within. Then perhaps just a misplaced word
- or action, sharp as the finest sword, cutting
- through your world like lightning form a thousand
- storms. Creating destruction and darkness, as
- swift as flipping a switch, devastating as sudden
- total blindness. You're falling and falling, like
- shot down from a clear blue sky, crashing down
- the seemingly never ending pit of darkness, and
- yet hitting ground with brute force as thrown from
- the heights of eternity, feeling every split
- moment while you are being scattered all over
- space as though each takes a full eternity to
- complete. Plunging forward in nothingness seeing
- the tiny light behind you getting smaller and
- smaller. Then through time you'll turn numb and
- eventually apathetic, the gray dullness of the
- ordinary day and life will take over and the days,
- weeks and years will slowly be ticking by. As
- time passes your wings will start to heal and the
- good and bad memories mix to form a new layer on
- the pile of experiences, to be hidden and
- forgotten or used and learned from. Then perhaps
- one day you meet again someone who can light the
- fire inside, and hopefully you will dare your
- wings once more, maybe slowly at first, kind of
- probing to see if they can carry your weight,
- before you throw yourself over the edge, onto the
- unpredictable winds of emotions, once again
- soaring high above the gray surface of ordinary
- life. Perhaps one day you will be my wife.

- Well..?
