Friday Flash 55 — Be



Not there, here.
Center
yourself like a stone.
Smooth and pure with a feather on top, please.
No please, just be. Be solid. Be soft.
Be reflection.

Be here, not there.
Balance 
yourself like a stone 
on a stone on a stone. Please 
yes with the touch of a feather, here and there.
Reflection be.



Written for Friday Flash 55 - My post in exactly 55 words - for the G-Man

    Nice,the way your poem balances itself out. Just so. This should be in a yoga book. It's hard to be light as a feather, as supportive as a stone.
    Happy New Year, Lydia!

    This SO does have a Tantric aura about it.
    Different, Dynamic, and Delightful!

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
