...and while she's resting

...and while she's resting

A Poem by jaime

I know this woman, lady maybe, that just this year fell into her life.
She rolled out of her bed into the sky and free fell.

She liked where she landed and has decided to stay and live in this place.

And live well, live very well.
She has some true stories to tell, and some lies, and some in-between times, as well. She doesn't fit in any category she's tried,

but she's too tired to try anymore, so she'll stay long enough to rest, for awhile,

and be this she she's become. 

And while she's resting, she's dreaming of where she's going next.

I really like the nut of this but I think it needs a new shell. Maybe even just changing the tense that you've used. Going from inactive to active. To me the language just isn't sparking. Throw some gasoline on it, will ya? ;)

Two lines I wouldn't change, though: "And live well, live very well. " and "and be this she she's become." (And for clarity, the first "she" should be capitalised. God, I'm picky.)

The image of rolling out of bed and into the sky is so brilliant that I'm surprised no one's ever come up with it before. Well done! As Cah said, playing around with the tense might be an interesting experiment.

I love the line with which it ends.
