The sleeper stands
Mind as black as lava sand
It’s beyond beginning
Of the season giving
Time to tread lightly
Swim and be free...

tread lightly forward with caution---
making a way is often exhausting---
a light to my foot---
a lamp to my roadway---
to take me through the light of day--...

Tread lightly, gently

On the oceans of my dreams

Waves come crashing in.

Listen to poem:

To tread lightly on Planet Earth
To dive in with a tiny weeny splash
To cover your cough and not foul the air with smoke
To ardently proclaim earth's preservation
   is an altruistic axiomatic asseveration to Gaia....

come to me in the night
tread lightly my dreams
stay as long as you like
roam you are free

my light is always on
and the door open
come to me in the night
stay as long as you like

walk carefully if you're behind me 

tread lightly on my path 

as you might step upon some dreams 

along the way I left 

some were dropped on purpose 

others slipping from my grasp 

pick a few if you care to 

there are plenty to be had...

More fellers than eyes                                                                                               
standing on end as birds watch                                                                                    
tread lightly the green...

In Dark time keep searching for the light

There might be a few flickers along the way

Just keep moving forward

Until one stays on and shows you the world

You'll then shine so bright and rise above the storm

Where you you'll sit on high and rule that world...

riverward
together the way clear
tread lightly
sensing fragility
perfection subject to disruption
we guardians
reverence in being
in being then
you said you would die
i said i would too
it would take some time
you said you could try that
the guardians are gone and reverence
we're still here
each alone
with each other...

The window to my soul's barred ~
I had left it open once,
but you did not tread lightly,
you stepped all over my heart 
and crushed my belief in love;
my tears made me stronger, strong 
enough to bar it again ~
now all that is left are scars.

I always get them, vision blurred,
darkest room, blinds drawn, so absurd!

Family knows to tread lightly,
I'm wound up oh so tightly!

A wet cloth upon my head,
Imitrex is by the bed!

For days I lie there, sometimes asleep,
sometimes so frustrated, I simply weep!

I hate these migraines with a passion,
For more than a decade I have had them!...

I have known for days now
We have been where
We've wanted to come out

Met you on the water
In the heat of a young summer
Saw you through the haze 
wanted you to stay
Why don't you stay now?

Tread lightly 
this thing is fragile
It's unlikely
Boy is much too wild

For the record
I have known for days now...

Haven't you heard,
Maybe you wondered
Well
For the record.......

We conquer the world,
Spinning from one life to the next, 
High like the late summer sky in August, and a birthday to Remind us how far we’ve come. 

Guided by celestial voices we follow the paths designed for Us, and we may tread lightly or sometimes barely at all but We make our way just fine.

He is not my blood, but he is my brother; I have lived and Died with him a thousand times....

Tread lightly and always be aware

That there will always be jealousy out there,

Their whole world evolves around what they want and need

By criticizing others for their likes and not just greed,

To many haters are jealous of others success

So they are not happy and then get depressed,

Because they are lazy and don't want to work

They are to blame so they acted like jerks.

Should I be doing this? 
I don't know? 
Should I keep going? 
Or just let it be? 
This definite attraction 
Is overwhelming me 
All of these thoughts and feelings 
Are making it hard 
For me to see clearly 
This is crazy! 
I don't know if I'm ready 
But then again 
Relationships are rarely easy 
These walls are building up 
All around me 
As a warning 
To tread lightly 
This is it! 
Time for a new philosophy 
Gonna go with the flow 
And just be me...

Don't be ashamed of yesterday..
We took chances in times of disarray..

Built bridges that we can't cross alone..
Through narrow paths to lead us home..

Forks in the road that divided hearts true..
We went our ways and watched each other choose..

Tread lightly if your path is in the dark night..
Look up to the sky and remember I'm still your light..

Remember yesterday and the wisdom learned..
We shared a candle light but never got burned.....

If a woman is not confident internally. 
You can only call her beautiful a handful of times. 
A woman to compliment another woman is to see her true beauty within. 
And at times you will know if a man sees that as well or if it's just another story for his gain with his buds to tell another tale. 
But if she does not believe it herself, you will not be able to change her views otherwise. 
So, tread lightly my friends. 
This is a battle if you try to fix you may lose....
