Resistance

My stillness, serenity
Edges forward, toward 
A touch, a word, a breath.

A sphere in motion, 
Without resistance, 
Helpless, rolling, drawn.

I am a ball now,
No walls can hold me
Or control me.
It is a question of speed
And resistance.
The feeling that pulls me

Over the threshold
Where I was at rest.
