- Weightlessness -

I'm not fat, but not thin
                                Imagine being weightless
                                   and just float around

                                   
                                              ***


                             Do not be concerned about what
                                       you are weighing
                                  be happy that you have
                              both feet planted on the ground

Very true Anne! Reminds me of the boy who was sad he didn't have any shoes... until he met the boy who didn't have any feet! This was creative and different... weightlessness and stability both have their "ups and downs" so to speak...

Enjoyed your poem Anne Lise. And yes I am happy to have both feet planted on the ground instead of being wholly planted in the ground. There are many more poems that I would like to write before I go to the great beyond.
