a common thread in <br />dreams a dreaded stone terrace affords <br />misty foggy view of shuddering views from <br />height above clouds from a <br />stone cold tower with <br />stone cold mystery fall <br />no set of eyes can bear to <br />look down from <br />the last place you want to be and <br />the only place you can't leave, waiting <br />while the infraction calmly haunts and <br />makes its move <br />the floor gives way into <br />thin shell of nothing, into panicked <br />plunge with no escape <br />a never happening crash toward <br />endless bottom <br />prolonged plight that begs for completion <br />a sudden desire for ending, begging <br />for non-existence with <br />tears negated by sheer urgency<br /><br />Lee Crowell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stone-cold-5/
