Elapsing, Eclipsing, Evolving

my hands are too small
to hold the world
so i let it fall
to find that gravity
is more indifferent
than originally implied
and the earth sits
peacefully upon it's orbit
without concern for me
or my weaknesses
or the implicit need
I have to carry
unnecessary burden.

You have such a wonderful way of looking
and dealing with things...
How I would love to view the world through your eyes.
Very nicely penned.
Hugs~

Strange, how we bring our own troubles along
when we could so easily let them slip
to the side of the road.

ah you see.. but gravity is why in part the earth sits upon its orbit and all things ruled by more than we are in time.find their own balance..
can you?

Sometimes we just try too hard.  But sometimes we need to at least try.
A lesson learned for me in this write.  Thank you!

Dear Dawn, whether we carry our burdens or release them, the Earth won't notice, but I'm sure she prefers "light" feet ...
You are so beautiful and insightful.
Love and hugs. Margherita
