RE: Leaves carpet the land, leaving the trees behind | 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: carpet

why don't they hallucinate their son who lives a thousand miles away? This is a very good question, it really gets me thinking. I do not fear death, I fear losing the ones that are here with me and them losing me. I have one granddaughter who calls me a dragon, I asked her why and she said because dragons live forever.

Sort:  

What a great line from a granddaughter!!!
I sometimes flirt with death, thinking of that Emily Dickinson poem.

Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.

We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –

(Too often, I think everyone would be better off without me. I know, I know....
Gotta be more of a dragon, and keep fighting, no matter how often I feel vanquished!)

Yes, be a dragon. The world needs more dragons, never give up. Live, Laugh and Love.
