On Tiptoes.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

i feel so light
today, enlightened
illuminated

i feel like i was
that coin that you
dropped from the boat
to the sea,

i have weighed a feather
on my palm

how light the dew on
the leaf of morning

i have seen a dream
walk on water

a hover boat coming
a flake of snow in the sky

i feel so light
and i begin not to know

who you are
what to me you are

this the lightness of thought
fluttering near my lock

of hair, sighing, breathing,
whispering on tiptoes
