The Edge
61
I'm stuck in neutral.
I was sure I was moving forward
Then I caught myself scooting back
Now I feel I'm somewhere in the middle
I usually steer clear of the edge...
I tend to keep a good distance from that sort of drop off
Sure, there's a railing to block my fall
But it's too flimsy and I rarely trust it
Lately, though, I've been playing daredevil
I've inched closer and closer still
Peered over the edge and pulled myself back
I've let a toe ease across and and stare down the steep rocky cliff
I know I could leap
I know I would just float down to the bottom
Find the cool waters flowing there and bathe in them
But the fear of the fall makes me nauseous and pulls me back as always.

That it is Pacal :) Thanks for the visit ;)
Falling is a wonderful experience Janetta.
It's the painful stop at the end of the drop that's the difficult bit.
So long as you can avoid that bit, you'll be fine :)
Well then let's hope my parachute works, Froggy! :D
Vedy interesting, my dear. I've been on that edge many times. But I can only fly in my dreams.
Me too, James :)
Just came back to rate this up again. I'm on The Edge you know. I thought it appropriate to hang around a metaphorical one. Bit less dangerous.
And I'm awfully sorry Miss Pretty --- I remain behind with your hub. Please accept my apologies. Life has tripped me up somehwat of late.
Damn irritating in my opinion :)
Froggy, honey, if you're on the edge, you can peer over but know I'm holding your shirttail ;)
lol Janetta - I almost read your last word wrong. Thought you'd said you were holding onto my sh*t :)
Thankyou though ... shirt tails are much better x
HAHAHA well, I guess I could hold your sh*t too...If by sh*t u mean a purse or your keys or something. Not actual sh*t. lol
What a lovely conversation! lol
I just checked back to look who's on the edge.
Hi Pacal! Well Froggy's peering over while I hold her sh*t :)
Actually I think we should just have a hand holding session. I really miss Simões and could do with a big bear hug. I'll take a virtual ring of people if you please :)
By the way Janetta --- your Edge is looking a little dusty wayyyyyyyy down there in the corner. Just saying ...
AH! how dare you bring up my dusty edges!! lol
Well, consider the ring started with me. I'll grab Pacal--he's around here somewhere and we'll start gathering up the hublove. Frieda?? Shiba?? where r u girls? come along now :)
Can we make out before you leap ; )
You'll have to be patient house, I'm still holding froggy's sh*t ;)
Ahhhh sh@t I am impatient lol ; )

I'd love to fall. Maybe some day I will. You just steer clear of the edge though, Janetta, coz you know it's hard to come back from it. ;)
