The Shimmerbird
waltzes
in sunlight
A blinding silver
glimmer
As light
as a thought

Held aloft
on mere
suggestions
of gossamer
The substance
of smoke

And it is within
this dance

That it
is consumed

In reply to "which way do we go?", the answer was never "straight", but, "progressively forward".

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.

It's not such a bad way to go if everyone admires you...

Loved it!
