I sit
feet beneath me
crawled into
the depth of a chair
I sit
knowing
God
is somewhere
on the edge of my being
I falter
hanging on
fingers on the edge
wondering
how hard
I should hold on
I want
to send you a picture
a sketch
a charcoal
sketched against
off white
rough paper
to show you
what my words mean
but I lack the materials
and the time
in this moment
***
I sit on the edge of the universe
my faery feet
flying
into the foam of the ocean caps
I dip
my toes
the toes I sometimes
dip
dip
dip
I dip them in
those little things
I dip them in and out
do you see them now?
those five points
dipped in foam?
those happy
little
digits
sprayed against the
horizon of the sky
against the epicenter
of the unknown?
****
I sit
on the edge
of a moss covered rock
I dip
my toes
into the clear
clear
clear waters of a meandering stream
I watch what I think
are the
never moving rocks
the pebbles
watching the
water go by
I dip and dip again
****
My faery feet
I see them well
I never asked
I never told
just a little one
a wee one
they said
so
spry
so slight
when they sucked my breath
I didn’t
know how to say
no
Ah. This is really nice. Esp. loved:
“my faery feet
flying
into the foam of the ocean caps”
I’m a sucker for good alliteration. Namaste to those happy little digits. Uh…and I do hope they learn to say “no”. (-;
Your words are always such a feast!
I related to so many of the images, My bare toes always feel ready to fly, Thanks for the moment of deep sigh.
I have a friend who says “Yes is a Verb”, I suppose you understand as well as she….
(SMILE)
Very fun, I like the lightheartedness of this though the subject matter is very etherial.
This is really nice.
Interesting that our feet are not our foundation, but the universe is. 😀
Take care.
You had my attention with the title..I love it, and this line is especially beautiful to me:
“I sit knowing God is somewhere on the edge of my being”
Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. 🙂
Ronnie: thanks so much! Yes, I was partial to the ocean caps myself, imagining hovering in the air just high enough.
Sorrow: how gracious of you. I like that, Yes is a verb. You are right!
Ozy: I tend to feel the same way, you are correct, it is light but there is something more to be seen. Thanks for stopping in again!
Alexys: I like the way you put the words in your comment…exactly!
Gypsy….:) Of course you know I had no idea where I was going with it, don’t you?
I love the visual that your words paint! Beautiful.
What delightful imagery your words portrait…and the song they sing…your words move! Beautiful piece!
When I read this I think of a mermaid and contemplation: )
Tobeme: I feel as if this little faery girl asked me to type her voice. I too enjoy her visuals!
Enreal: Peace today, thank you for your graciousness, I see the toes dipping in the ocean caps too!
Tumel: ah, a mermaid…I give pause to contemplate…….
