catch me when I fall
as I know not where I’ll land
a thousand feet per second
such adversities imposed
like gusts of wind
as I descend
catch me when I fall
for I am not secured
tethered to the structure
of my life, that once held me firm
catch me when I fall
treading tightropes
arms outstretched
pulled in all directions
need my balance to return
but if your arms can’t reach me
hold a safety net
to stop my pain
tell me pull the rip chord
till I am safe again

Ramblings From A Mum 
Catch me when I fall… we all need that safety net to land on, held by some one special. A lovely write.
Yes, that we do, I have that someone special thankfully, so I am counting on him to hold the net tight. Thank you for your kindness.
Very powerful poem beautifully written.
Thank you – appreciated.
Scary picture. Poignant words. We all need someone. Glad you have him. More is always better. Lots of people holding onto the net. Enlist all sources.x
It is isn’t it, but I think it was what I needed for this piece. Thank you Scottie and yes I am lucky I have a good man to lean against. Thank you for your kind words. xx
I know the feeling . Great post and I like the picture scary!
😦 Willow sorry. Thank you for your comment and yes I agree the pic is scary..but that is how I felt last night as I wrote. Thanks for the visit. x
That picture is frightening, but scared of heights and all so … but the poem fits it beautifully! 🙂
Agreed on the pic, thank you darling 🙂 xx
Creepy picture, but perfect for your poem. Great job, Jen:)
I know isn’t it just, thank you Beck for your lovely words also. 🙂 xx
I feel this was a “Moment” poem? Just how you felt and NEEDED to blog it?
It was powerful and the image was a good one to match how you feel..
You are lucky to have caring people in your life..
But it is good to just release isn’t it? xx

Yes, last night with all that is happening around me – this was my moment and this was my release.
When you start to write poetry… you will also have these moments. I know you blog because you need to..there are days when it can lessen the pain, the anxiety, the hurt that we have.
Thank you BH {hugs} back to you.
I have these moments now 😀
I just can’t do it in poem style..
My last blog was the same as yours..
Just written VERY different..
lol
Hugs
I know you do – yes it was – email your ‘thought’s we can work on it 🙂
Hugs
I know I am slacking, I still have a reminder sitting on my desktop..
lol
that you are – but you’re forgiven..I think I’m calling it a night I am pooped 😦
Speak soon – famous last words I know!
x
it’s only 8pm there, you ok?
Hope you are..
Speak soon ok..x
I think it was Dr Phil (blush) who said “A relationship should be a soft place to fall” I kinda liked that.
Nice write Jen.
Thank you sweety – I like his words too 🙂 x
The suggestion of need and pleading is what come to me..and I do hope all the rest of us land safely.
Yes Michael you are correct….don’t we all wish that…just a bumpy ride for a few days brought this on. Thank you for reading. 😉
Ah, I think we all would like someone to catch us if / when we fall. A strong safety net (a strong person we could depend up) sure would be nice!!
Hello Mary and thank you. Yes it is fortunate I have that someone that I can. Had a rough few weeks with my elderly parents and writing that was my release. Appreciate you reading.
