For 7 seconds
of today.
All my fears
were unfounded and
all my dreams
were within
a
hairs
breadth
of my grasp.
Have you ever noticed
that when you reach for things,
it's very easy to
make them
topple
over.
Please tell me what you think

Boy have I ever ...
but I'd never have thought to write about it.

I always reach way too quickly in my excitement and the clatter they make when they hit the floor is heartbreaking (at least for a moment,) and then I scoop them back up and stack them like Jenga until I think I can reach out and grab them again.
I am waiting for the day I don't knock them over
Like this a lot.

but i see it this way (and you know i have an odd way of looking at things) ok so i am reaching, i see it all begin to fall, and it is not falling my way either...so i quickly GRAB what i can salvage and run with it.
to hell with being too timid to reach for what you want beebs, and anyway..i seem to be the one to pick up the pieces after someone else knocks them down, lol.
i love this write, motivates me to go knock over a few things
always so good to see you writing.

this might just be me. but the poem kind of looks like half of a person. so maybe youre feeling incomplete because of the missed opportunity. but maybe thats just all in my head.
anyways. i like this. and yes, i have noticed how easy it is.
