Free Falling

Stunning artwork by *Star* Music by Evanescence, thought it only fair to add this beautiful music since I stole the title...

Lost in paradise

      on the brink...

treading the edges,

~is there sanity~

       in unrestrained descent

            tragedy's fall from grace

 to that special place,

where angst and torment 

cease to exist

  Freedom floating on a dance

        without a care

         panorama's correction

 absolved by a leap of faith

             loveliness of misty azure skies

    with aliceblue clouds essence

Snapped back to stark reality,

to my dismay...

          I realize i'm awake

Well, speaking as a highly intelligent, well informed Republican who does not hold political office therefore quin has no major beef with me, I can honestly say I loved this piece. And, as far as the music goes, my volume is always turned down because between you and Dale and my slow connection, I always get the s**t scared out of me when I go onto your pages and the music decides to start playing xD

Nice artwork, too, of course.

I like the amazing description. Each strong line leading me into wild thoughts. I like the way you led the reader to the good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.

Really good poem...love the end and "loveliness of misty azure skies". Good stuff. Love Evanescence too. Beautiful song...had to stay until it ended. :)

It is a cool picture. One of Jodi Picoult's books has a scene that Iooks just like it. That's a weird thing to say, but true.

wonderful write, i think you have found the spark.....one note....i don't know about others but, when someone imbeds a song or musical piece into their writes...it confuses me, distracts me...and i can't feel the poetry.....i am scurrying to mute the sound so that i can feel the write. sorry, that is just me....poetry is its own music....music is its own poetry... just me perhaps? anyway, i hate it.....

[Frieda P]

You know what quin, I do agree with you, it's distracting most times. There are a few times I've done it, this being one, since it was part of my inspiration, along with Star's artwork. Glad you took advantage of 'mute' if it bugs you, don't you wish that existed in real life? ;-)

[Frieda P]

Featured review again sweetie, this is getting to be a habit ;-)

[quinfinn]

i think every person should come with a mute button, especially republicans....what is this featured review thingy? i dont see it anywhere....what am i, a dumbass?

[Frieda P]

Ha, you are always mine when you say something critical, ha....lucky me! I don't know why you're not seeing it, I showed it to you last time....

[quinfinn]

i love you too! i don't dislike republicans, just the mean nasty ones who hold political office. i honestly don't ever see anything that says "featured review" where is it posted? i feel like i am missing so much. i see people talking about top writes and i never see that either. am i missing a page here?

[Frieda P]

You on your cell...go under 'Writing' ...home, that's where the top reads are...

[quinfinn]

well i'll be buggered! found it, thanks.....never realized that was available...and been here almost two years!

[Jack...]

Once again she speaks and once again I listen. I was dreaming there for a bit until you woke me up...at least i woke up with a smile. Very cool Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Thanks Jack, not really that happy with this one, just needed to speak to the artwork and feeling of it.
