SOAR

           SOAR


Fat black bird on edge of limb
so slim it’s not a limb but a twig,
a filament in a leafless filigree. 
Balance is in her blood
because she knows that she can fly.

Likewise your spirit
if you rid yourself
of whatever weighs you down ,
knocks you off center.

Toss the flotsam,
eject the jetsam,
add only what makes you lighter;
harmony now your hallmark,
air your element,
the sea your security.
