a heaviness,
a softness
standing tall at standing down
ready to fall, fall to the ground

being keen,
being lean
breaking down within one's soul
tied and unsound, sounds of the whole

but in time,
rhythm's rhyme
finds a soul now slightly tall
taking its toll, tolling it all

fragile agility

I'm sorry but the talent is obviously there but I have read your words several times and you know what you have written and why, but I can only find almost slivers to hang on.

Sorry I have taken so long to respond DP, I've been a busy these days ....

   I hope I can make some sense of this for you ....

    Fragile - breakable, weak, dainty and such words as slender, unsound, perhaps lean?

    Agility - to be fast, keen, nimble and perhaps agile, active, light, or limber.

    With these particular words in mind and recent occurrences with troops overseas, I noticed a pattern. It takes great agility for one to stand up to their superiors, knowing that it maybe to their own demise. Such as the recent troops denying orders to certain dangerous missions. To me this shows great agility. Now on the same hand, some of these soldiers have called upon family and loved ones here at home to rally and help them plead their cases of why they should not have followed such orders .... This shows me a fragile side to that agility, hence the line "fragile agility".

    I began to think about the different times I have seen such acts, even here, in daily situations. One thing was always common .... each situation had its price, or "toll" if you will.

I hope that clears some of that "static" you were picking up DP, maybe some of them old airwaves need to rest awhile.

Even those of us that have weaknesses can stand proud with any man or woman that shows that much of their soul ....

out of conflict may rise a miracle after all.

Hi Craig, I think you said a lot here, and it was very beautifully done.

I like it. I read it and thought about it as well, but didn't understand. Thanks for elaborating. I like what you've got and what you're thinking about.

I think agility is a big part of resilience. And resilience is necessary to thrive in this world.
