Yet the more time I spend living the more I see that there is no rhyme and reason. Death does not discriminate. It doesn’t seem to matter how good you are, how muc.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/MichelleClay/910515/ I often sit and wonder If you would hold me in your arms If you’d shower me with kissesAnd keep me away from harm Would you always bring me flowers?And try to take away my painWe could sit and talk for hoursOr just listening to rain Would we move in perfect h.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/MichelleClay/828237/ A private dedication . . . http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/MichelleClay/797966/ Her strong toned muscles flex as she surveys the land around herHer long glossy hair, shines like a mirror in the sunShe is a beauty to behold, and many have tried to own herBut she is too wild, too complex and so she runs. She runs as quickly as the wind, feeling the rough ground beneathH.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/MichelleClay/757445/ I let you down http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/MichelleClay/752314/ Blacker than the deepest ocean, the night longs for the touch of day.It chases it round and round this never-ending spinning orb. Just to feel that brief moment of happiness.How it longs to hold the light for longer.

I pressed the snooze button angrily and buried my head back in the pillow.   For the second night in a row I was able to sleep through, but not only that, it was the second night that I hadn’t dreamt about the accident.  I lifted my head and .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/MichelleClay/699080/    She pulled off the curb onto the main road.
