Viv Wigley Poet Free verse

When You Rise

When you rise
 dance
 dance like frosty morning breath.
 Smile
 smile wider than sunrise.
 Breathe
 breathe slow, deep, rhythmic, tidal.
 Look
 look, see all, REALLY see
 like a hawk.
 Miss nothing
 for the world turns
 and when you are gone
  it will not miss you.

I'm sure that's how the auld song went. Of course I would, Jean, although I have two left feet. I really must stop stealing from shoe shops, I'm useless at it.... x
