so lightly,

you wish to tread the world

so lightly,

the ground cannot feel your feet

tremble

the dust is left untouched

undisturbed by your weight

for the air to fill your lungs

so lightly, 

it passes without effort

without the suffocation of borders 

that divide the outside 

from the inside

the shadows you cast 

so lightly,

they camouflage 

with fallen 

leaves and flowers and mist and time

a hum escapes your body

so lightly,

as if it were the earth's movements

the waves tiptoeing

the sun bathing at the horizon

you wish the day flies by

so lightly, 

unencumbered,

on the back of birds 

crossing the human worlds 

of weight, of violence, of noise, of despair..
