Tuesday Poem - Tread Lightly



Step

out

onto

white

not

as

a

body

bearing

any

weight

but

as

a

feather

might


think

of

ink

in 

a

quill

drawing

a

cantata

out

of

light

"Your breaths
     are the quivering feathers
     of birds. . . "

Was expecting a Yeats connection - beautiful airy feel to this.

Now I'm considering the weight of lightness, thoughts of delicacy and balance, vigilance, too, and knowing which planks will hold. xo
