a slight of step

a slight of step

it is easy
to stay inside a net
to never venture out
to never bring in
remaining motionless

sucking life
out of every corner
to pass a day
constant isolation
from creeping fear

a moment will come
when the staled air
pushes the door open
so to breathe in
a bit of new

causing a reaction
with a slight of step
brings to life
more possibilities
beyond window panes

today never stays
tomorrow is a gain
giving a way to be
in the change
all about the free

it is easier
to walk into love
for the letting go
than to be a hostage
to the mind's fears

Lunarsoul commented on a slight of step

I am by definition not an overly word expressive person, even though I love the English language...I find this to be very wonderfully written and you catch the readers imagination I like that sort of thing...

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
