Tread Lightly
Poem inspired by: on the nature of daylight-Max Richter
11 o clock sun
my face tilting, eager to feel
the light
across the wisp of skin that form my eyelids…
An orange glow
fills my mind-
you feel closest here,
and from here
the warmth slowly spreads
like the emergence of a sunrise
throughout my physical form…
I want to stay here,
forever…
Infinite space for my soul to breathe
Like first butterfly wings
uncurling,
my eyes flutter open,
disoriented…
I focus on the sound of the breeze
rustling the leaves…
Looking down,
the playful dance of shadows unfold,
imprinting on my bare thighs…
a delightful rumble
moving upward
from my core,
tickling my throat
as it crescendos
into the air…
as if to acknowledge
the beauty
of existence with nature as the sole witness…
