Lightly, lightly. It’s the best advice ever given to me.
–Aldous Huxley, Island
Eventually I learn
that anything I would hold onto
will weigh me down—
sorrow, of course,
but even delight.
And there is no predicting
when the next step
will find me travelling
onto thin ice—
so I remind myself
each step, each breath,
each grasp, each hope,
go light, go light.
Bravo and touché, Rosemerry!
You’ve hit the nail on the head — again!
Thanks, and keep it up. Be poetry!
Paul in Santa Rosa, CA
