Poem 016 – Linger

/ˈlɪŋɡə/ verb – stay in a place longer than necessary because of a reluctance to leave.

I stand weightless at the edge of my pain, overcome, disdained, Close my eyes and I am falling, unable to catch myself, not stopping,

Come bright future, yes, come to me. Let me mount your winged reveries.

Bask while the sun is golden, tread dewy grass with bare feet. Take a walk and pause to feel each step, each lift, let the music move you to dance.
