Lightly Be

One day you jump higher for no reason

perhaps the brush of a breeze encourages you

and maybe you feel lighter

Dazzled by the view of a familiar landscape yet long forgotten

The deepest joy to know it is still there

Beyond the self made plans and busy dealings of the day

The trauma, trivia and recurring themes of your thought-full day dreams

The land lies unfurrowed, virgin pure and crystal clear

Will you walk again through the landlocked tangled paths you made yourself?

Forgetting the vast horizon just over there

Or might you take yourself lightly enough to rise again for just another glimpse

And realise at last how easy it is done.
