So when the “I love you” breaks free
there’s no earthquake or upheaval
of what has always been
but it’s like the air is cleaner
and the sky celebrates
the advent of honesty.

It dances on the spot
like a gypsy dressed in blue
and swirls the clouds round about
its own form of happiness
far above my lowly understanding.

The sun not prone to ever leave
trembles within the confines
of its own fiery passion
and shines approval down
like an adoring parent
onto a new born babe.

The “I love you”, you see,
overrides the state of man
and births over and over again
the new and wondrous ~
and who could ask for more
except the you and me
who labour under need
to freely join the party
with feet on the ground.

And feet on the ground?
Oh, merely the bars and walls
that imprison word and deed
until the end of time!

Helen / 30 May 2010

Take off those feet from the ground and drift in happiness upon the cloud of love!

Dear Helen, this is one of your best really.

Love,
Margherita

Thanks, Margherita.  I used to take my feet of the ground but landing again became too much to handle and so ... I'm here until I'm not.

Love
Helen
