Lightly


I walk lightly on this EARTH.  

Oblivion 

is not a scary thing 

to me, 

just a small bird 

on its wings, 

Lighltly 

touching 

the trees. 

 

I walk lightly on this EARTH. 

Legacy 

is not a BIG thing 

to me, 

just a small whisper

Lightly,

in another's ear,

that I am Real and I am Here. 

 

I walk lightly on this EARTH. 

Strangely

tiptoeing the edge

of the Beautiful

and grazing the Ugly

Lightly 

with 

my 

hand.
