Stoney ground
Can be light as air
floating footsteps
drifting down
never a mark
touched the way
walking on air
touching my way
This is garbled, but it almost wrote itself
*********************************************
heavy in life
light in love
always managed
heaven above

thoughts can hurt
people do
culture you dont know

easy to write words
no-one may read

Easier to smile
As part of the herd

Writing this was short of thought
Every word
Has it's retort

A loose poem
That gains meaning
As every word
Makes you think
That you need
To stop
But the words still carry on
They dont know how to stop
And the words you write
Are Writing you

Are writin

When we surrender to the flow, perception becomes easier and clearer. You just showed this by "walking on air" and I loved it.
Love, Margherita

You are so true, it is easy to write words that no-one may read.  But the moment they are read, they are no longer yours, they are shared thoughts.

Froid said that a text never existed until it had been read by someone other than the creator..or something like that..hehe.  

Wonderful post.

I know I wrote from a need and allowed my fingers to write

Maybe it is a comparision with a bunch of monkeys writing Shakespeare

The punctuation is bad, but you know where the bananas are

Thanks for your thoughts

May be I just need to put on Blazing Saddles etc., and unwind

regards

So true, I think that you hit it on the nail Dave. Great work!!! I do that to. I'll write something and the ending surprises me! It's like watching a movie or a cartoon sometimes :-)
