Cliff Side Is The Wrong Side...* Poem by elysabeth faslund

Cliff Side Is The Wrong Side...*

Rating: 5.0


Been through the Southwest desert,
Been through the Texas hills,
Through a snowy Teluride...
One blow-out on it's downside.

How's it feel to be so free
With a wolf for company...
I'll tell you later on, my friend,
Miles from here, around that bend.

Never saw how close I was
Until the tire threw gravel...
I looked down two thousand feet...
Spun the wheel...God was sweet.

Never will forget that day
Time kindly stopped for me...
I had other plans, you see...
My life planned for no delay.

How's it feel to be so free
With a wolf for company...
I'll tell you later on, my friend,
Miles from here, around that bend.

Thank goodness for then we wouldn't have all your words... Reading this, it has the rhythm of a song...It would be a good song using as a chorus beginning 'I had other plans You See.' Super write Lizbeth. ~~marci. :) ~~

A memorable moment brought poetically and dramatically to life through your magical pen. Terrifying and rhythmical ride Sometimes I do believe we have 'someone' 'somewhere' looking after us. love, Allie xxxx

Great story and write. Loved the way the second verse and the last perfectly complimented the story... a story to scary to tell while looking at the cliff. Zen
