THE LEAP OF FAITH

Poem for Today - Sunday October. 26, 2014


MOVEMENT

Towards not being
anyone else’s center
of gravity.
          A wanting
to love: not
to lean over towards
an another, and fall,
but feel within one
a flexible steel
upright, parallel
to the spine but
longer, from which to stretch;
one’s own
grave springboard;
             the out-flying spirit’s
vertical trampoline.
