Poetry

Then

lbelans 2015

Peer around corners,
close your eyes.
Dare
to step off the head of the pin
you have been balancing on
all your life.

Tumble freely
through caressing space.
Bounce and careen
on and off
soft landings.

Feel
the balls of your feet
touch down.
Roll through your metatarsals,
heels
magnetically meeting
intention’s soft footprint.

Then
come
rest
on the place that was waiting
where you find
what’s been looking for you.
