Levitation

on the rarity of certainty

By Lauren SmithPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

We are watched by the same god in the in between

Suspended in moments that are not quite moments,

the cradled babe mid-pass

Not quite held, almost levitating

time between steps with one toe on the ground

right before resolution

Trusting our bodies to catch us, completing the action, alternations between falling and landing

in succession

At the center of the gradient

learning to be passed

from pain

to joy

to pain

in faith

fact or fiction

    I love that the lines gradually get smaller, placing emphasis on human emotion by way of the metaphor. ♥️
