Skipping Rocks



Skipping rocks across the lake

Skipping heart underneath me

Rippling liquid flesh
reflecting freedom in a breath of
fresh air

Skipping rocks across the lake

The suns horizon awaking

Orange and pink skies
gliding inside me
seeing morning dawning

My darling new day

A soft breeze

The right rock
shaping the clock to fly time
occupying my mind in
the signs of silence
breaking surface
searching for distance

Skipping rocks across the lake

Realizing in life

We all eventually sink but,

If I could just glide this
heavy weight long enough life brings
I could make it far
if I just try...
