cloud walker pt. 2

they call me cloud walker

I don’t know how I earned that name

with my lead feat

and the balance of a top with a dying spin

and the inability to keep a light heart

with a light step

with a light smile

because i’m used to sinking my heart and my toes

into the shifting things

thinking the grip of my feet

and the weight of my influence

will hold them together

stronger than the bonds of atoms

in the wispy air

so perhaps that is why

I own that title

because I spend my time

shaping mist into illusions

and thinking they will hold me upright
