It's Saturday, or in my case, the very remnants of Saturday ... on the verge of Sunday ...
Another cold rainy day here on the West Coast ... will summer ever come?
Our Dear Miss Jenny has surprised all of Centusians with another photo prompt and a total of 100 words to play with. Here is my little entry, I came in at 99 words ...
Hanging
Suspended mid-air
I feel like I can float.
Closing my eyes, I lean back as far as I can,
I feel like I am the cloud,
that blots the heat of the sun,
from the cold earth.
Leaning from
side to side
I can sway,
softly,
gently.
The cloud, now buffeted by angel’s wings.
Their gentle feathers just out of reach,
But in my mind I can feel them,
smell them,
and see them.
I am at peace in my sway,
in my dream .
Reality is,
I am still just hanging
Not up,
Not down
just suspended
mid-air.
Happy Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canadians ... we are a grand 145 years old ... and Happy July the 4th to my American friends ...
I hope you can grab some time to read some other short offerings ... just click on the Jenny button below to get to the linky!

I loved this visceral feeling of dangling by the thin ropes that life sometimes hands out in a good mood. :)
This was beautifully written. i can feel what it would be like to be hanging in mid air. Great job.
145 years old, eh? Happy Canada Day from a former Canadian!
You painted a good word picture here.

This was beautiful!
I couldn't rock climb ...gravity has too big of a hold on me! :)
Beautiful Jo. I've always wised I could fly and feel the wind beneath
my wings.
Hugs Lynn
Hope you had a fun Canada Day! I've always wished I could fly too!
Beautiful, Jo! One of my favorite dreams is of floating in outer space.
Oh Jo...Your verse here is so textured, so flowing and so beautiful! How lovely that you can express yourself so!
Hugs,

The rhythm of the peace you shared!
