No progression is sudden or quick
like a fox jumping over a stick
or a sudden downpour of rain
in these days of walking astray.

The light has always been there
though then I didn’t know where
but I played the game, entered the fray,
and tossed balls in the air every day.  

Some exploded and some simply went
without even making a dent
but one floated down like a feather
and everything’s come together.  

When light and enlightenment shine
nothing can put out the fire
for mind has reclaimed its power
and life opens up like a flower.

There’s always a bee; there has to be, see
to lend to a dream authenticity  
but take out the sting that never was there
to experience walking on air …
and I’m holding hands with a rainbow
because soul has more seeds to sow!

"but take out the sting that never was there
to experience walking on air …"

This poem is so uplifting, that I think you are walking on air...I'm glad!!

Thank you, Dave.  It's still early days but I'm getting there - better late than never.
