Every Friday a lovely group of people get together with one topic from the mind of Lisa Jo.  They put fingers to keys and write for 5 minutes straight.  No corrections.  Just 5 honest minutes from the heart.

So I have set my timer, cleared my head, for five minutes of free writing without worrying about getting it right.

Here’s my 5-minutes on: Grasp

 

Sometimes we get lucky

Other times we just miss out

One of the hardest has been to find you

To stand so close, yet be so far apart

A double edged sword to live by daily

 

Like granules of warm golden sand

My love slips through your open fingers

And falls silently to the ground

Gently rejected, unable to be

The timing out of my grasp

 

 

Now it’s your turn:

1. Write for 5 minutes flat – no editing, no over thinking, no backtracking.
2. Link back here and invite others to join in.
3. And then absolutely, no ifs, ands or buts about it, you need to visit the person who linked up before you & encourage them in their comments. Seriously. That is, like, the rule. And the fun. And the heart of this community..
