I got to hold 2 of my babies, ok so they are older but they are mine.

Have you ever walked and watched your feet, Yet your feet don't seem real, Have you walked a street, and looked around you,Yet nothing seems real?Everything intensified, Whispered voices so loud, Small footsteps thundering, Movement around a blur, Everything surreal, you keep walking, Keep talking, keeping going, hoping it soon eases, Ground yourself they say,… Continue reading

Was it an angel who brushed their hand across my cheek, Was it an angel who dropped by my bedroom yesterday, Was it an angel who's breath I felt, when the room was silent but for my own self,Was it an angel who's shadow flickered across the room, As a sense of peace fell over… Continue reading Was it You?
