clinging to me

photo by TheFoxAndTheRaven 
I wish I was writing on sand
my blue dress clings to my body
I want wings to fly away
but the dust holds me to blessed coolness
you unbalanced my moorings 
that instant was lost in a moment
I was taken for a ride
but no more gasps
the wind may yet slap against me
snare of my cascading hair will beckon 
I will again look out for unlimited eternity

"who deserves what, can anyone predict?"

    To have your moorings unbalanced; we've all been there...

    I'm enamored with that last question.

    Those moments are hard to repeat...let alone an eternity of such bliss.

    agree with Stan and am pulling out a chair to stand on a give you a round of high applause. :) I will keep that blue dress clinging image for a long time... Hmm just occurred to me that today we both wrote of blue dresses in very different contexts - ah sweet synchronicity. Enjoyed this write very much :)

    (please if you can bear to do so .. get rid of the capture code - they are such a pain!)...

    Nicely whirled Gautami. Do you write on sand sometimes? I love to.

    I like how this one ended with the view for unlimited eternity...yes, no matter what, we have that. Your write seems to echo mine...another soul who was unbalanced by circumstances.

    No human can predict
    good or bad that is yet to come
    sometimes his dreams and illusions
    paint truth but still what is truth?
    Who knows it?
