#lightly
brow creases lightly
piano sings a soothing song -
fingers in their turf.

We Are So Lightly Here
“So come, my friends, be not afraid, we are so lightly here
It is in love that we are made, in love we disappear
Though all the maps of blood and flesh are posted on the door
There’s no one who has told us yet what Boogie Street is for”
Leonard Cohen “Boogie Street”
<~>
my body, my eyes, my entirety, tattooed, with a city map,
here, at this exact place, our eyes glanced, our eyes closed,
who among us does not possess such a living guide,
memories presented in a 3-D versions, constantly edited.
placed your hand on my privacy, bid you enter, not a dare,
more an invitation to risk, become a true love of mine,
share exhilaration, desert valleys that pockmark unexpectedly,
changes us to we, regresses, you and me, post-survivalists cut.
2 gather, modify highs/lows, meet & peaking@peculiar tunes,
ever embraces residuals a sour film upon our lips, a puzzling,
what excites, pacifies, returns us street corner, X’d our map,
glances exchanged across an empty street, seeing each, not.

You walk lightly,
said the old wizened man,
As if the floor were too thin
and you, afraid to use all your weight.
I looked at him with a surprised grin
and said
You are perceptive
no one ever said that out loud to me.
He just grinned and winked.

We so few
Who tread lightly on this earth
Carry with us our heart and mind
Carried away with the cascade of vision and dream
Brought out by the sun
Wanting only the peaceful murmur of a breeze
The few who tread
Uphill, downhill, or just along the way
Bring with you a story
Of love, hurt, hope...
Make a story that sings of life
Live a life that makes a story

Lightly, darling, live lightly, Lightly dollface, live brightly and let the darkest, deepest, heaviest parts of your soul drip down your rib cage over your bones. Feeling it all, just let it fall to your toes, down in the ground and all around.
An effortless flow let the black of your mind seep into the meaning of time
spread your roots and just breathe.
Look about you. You will shed darkness so it reveals the light that is you The you that is always yearning to greet the heavenly sun.

Your nickname is cotton
Your lips are pea sweet
Your back is so soft and your eyes are tea leaves, and then when I kiss them it suffocates me, for your beauty's so delicate that I can hardly breathe.

We all search,
And seek.
That guiding hand.
A hand that holds you,
In your darkest times.
One that will calm you,
In your despair of anger.
We all seek,
That sense of peace.
When we don't understand,
The reality.
We long for those hands,
To guide.
Those who have strayed.
To bring them forth,
Risen from the darkest corners.
Faces pale as ghost,
To be guided to a holy world.
You don't need religion,
To guide those who have strayed.
You need compassion,
To be a guiding hand today.
Guide those who have ran,
Those who are hiding.
Those who are in fear.
Bring them forth,
Rise them up.
Use your guiding hands,
To heal those.
Who have strayed.
