Winner's Circle

One.

Voila!!

Me On Top

of life's mountain

where heat crackles rock

and spews word splinters so

brittle and broken my perch

races me down, down ~ Hawk! Morning

Dove! Grab my two hands! Lend me your winged-

way down and Sisyphus-like I will climb ... 



Posted for Hedgewitch's  Weekend Mini-Challenge: Etheree(al) at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.  And put in the Poets United Poetry Pantry #161.

  4. Great to have friends along the way who may render the help if we need it when we're down. For it often goes against the trend that the rug is pulled from under one's feet when one needs it most! Great take Susan!
