Movements

It is  difficult  to climb
     on the scale of life,
    much easier is
    descending the stairs
    of the cliff ...
    So lightly is to walk
    with the head
    in the clouds than
    with feet running aground...
    So difficult is to follow
    ahead ... simple is
    reverse gear
    Will cross with struggle
    the cruel sea of the world,
    stroke without drowning
    in shallow water ...?
   So normal to be in the middle
   out of nowhere than stay in
   in the middle of everything ...
   The truth is that however much
   slow and insecure
   let us be,
   however indolent ...
   in a way or another
   we are always going around
   in body and in mind ...
   Even standing still when
   rivers flow through us,
   channels irrigate us,
   synapses bind us
   while atoms spin ...
