Winter fall

This little poem is linked to week 139 of Saturday Centus.   The prompt is in bold.  To read other offerings using this same prompt, just click here.  I will be catching up on SC reading this weekend!   I'll see you soon! 



I’ve been standing in the winter light,
 
pretending things will be all right.
Frozen in this time and space,
 
this fall is hard.

This fall from grace.
I’ve been standing in the winter air,
 
pretending that I just don’t care.

Suspended in this time and place,
this fall is hard.
This fall from grace.

White snow.  Bright snow,
upon my face.
This fall is hard.

This fall from grace.

    I like this! It has a hint of sadness in it and I think I can relate to that.

Hi! Thanks for leaving a comment! My handy dandy e-mail assistant always notifies me when you do and I read every single one.

I try to respond to comments with a return e-mail BUT I just noticed that I've been answering a lot of them to blogs that haven't linked their e-mail address to their Google account! I haven't been ignoring your comments, but now I know you aren't getting my reply e-mails! I'm sorry!

I know a lot of other bloggers who respond to comments via e-mail so if you haven't left off your e-mail on purpose, you might want to add it on! If you don't know how you can let me know in your comment and I'll see if I can help you!

Thanks so much for reading my 'Tangents'! Your comments always feel like a hug!
