Parachute

gravity draws hard
as furled silk and air support
your controlled drift down

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    controlling drift, if you take it with aspect of life, very philosophically written!

      Yes! If I was ever foolish enough to jump out of a plane for pleasure, and not necessity, I would have to close my eyes, too! Thanks for floating with me 🙂

    I like “furled silk” because you make us unfurl it in the reading.

      Thanks so much–I have never done this, and never will either–closest I ever got to this was a hot air balloon free flight–and that was just high enough 🙂
