I Wandered Weightless as a Feather
after “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth
I wandered weightless as a feather,
a muted plume from mourning dove.
A tuft afloat in breezy weather
connected now to skies above;
as long as winds will carry me
from over fields and out to sea.
My glad esprit more free than birds,
detached from mortal

weightless wave

an echo cannot be captured
( because the vibrating sound will softly emerge )
as the melody within begins to build,
waves become wild
and while each breath continues to bounce
between heaven and earth -

Im Weightless With Your Love
You are silently slowly creeping
In my life, your love is seeping
Slowly more and more in me
I'm floating like gravity
I feel free and so weightless
Lifting me up to greatness
The best thing that you gave me
Was something I couldn't see
With closed eyes and a shut heart
I never knew how the best part
Of me was hidden away
Locked up

If Only I Could Give To You My Best
If only I could give this world my best,
harbored in this port of call of restless
desires deep inside a ship in raging foam,
I’d find a way to make my way back home.
Digging deep into my sleep and slumber,
never more would I ignore the wonder
of sunrise colors painted on the sky,
or seeing

Weightless
trying to stay trim
lost little boy
dragging to the gym
going on a limb
can’t find the joy?
make your song a hymn
before your days get dark and grim
lift that weight praising Him

Weightless
My mind is calm,
flooded with endless moments;
Tasting your float tank
sensory deprivation,
I'm left completely weightless.

WEIGHTLESS
More often than not, you clutch tightly,
The very things that weigh you down;
Beliefs, suppositions, fears and so much doubt,
You line the lie of being emancipated,
When in actual fact, freedom is alien to you.
You define yourself by others' standards,
Struggle to fit in, when the simple truth is,
Every individual created is a blueprint,
A unique creation, with

Away From Here
Far, far away from here
Desperately I long to be
And without a trace, disappear
Leaving behind the sad and lonely.
I held you close and dear
Loving you relentlessly
Always wanting you near
Not a step away from me.
I'm sorry you couldn't engineer
My interests, thoughts and personality
And now I'm gripped with this fear
That for you, good enough I'll never be.

Weightless
Can happinness be wrapped in foil
as it a calorific value.
A specific size.
Does it weigh heavy on you.
Does it make your heartache
is it what others perceive
or is it within you .
Is it a number on a scale
the label in a shirt
a tear on your cheek
a reflection in a mirror
a state of mind
be who you are
not

Weightless, Penniless, Timeless Without Score
Weightless, Penniless, Timeless Without Score
Death had spoken thus; I see you still deny,
Abides grim darkness in you, 'til bye the bye,
Weightless, penniless, timeless without score
Last gasp is endless, it echoes no more;
Fields of waving grain, stroke whispering winds
splashing murmurs of why human life ends
As if such sounds could retrieve human life,
And mortal coil could exist

Weightless Tapestry
Theirs is a strange art, the weaving of
Air and sound into a weightless tapestry
hanging in the church, a vibrating cloth free
of sorrows that clothes men with God's love
Strange, strange is the shuttle of sound that moves
In and out, out and in around the key
thread of beats in time, that

Weightless
those beaten eyes glazed with a film
of bitter almond
shakily receiving her post partum reward
of a broken thyroid and a lumpy lack of form
once upon a time she lived
a lighter life
‘til procreation drubbed her good
these days she’s flesh in a black bag
of tightly straining clothes
mother-love keeps her upright
dead on her feet several months ago
but
