A Moment

Ernst Hanke
Berlin, Auguste-Viktoria-Platz, 1862
I tread lightly
steps falling into place
unconsciously
a brief meeting
between earth and sky
in which,
for a moment,
I feel both.

To be one with nature, yes that happens sometimes.
ReplyDeletemagic...to be part of both kingdoms at once...what a feel that would be...a connection...
ReplyDeleteI am going to call you my minimalist poet....you achieve so much in so few words....well done, Audrey, and good morning.
ReplyDeleteThese are perfectly penned words. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Audrey, how often I have felt those "brief moments between earth and sky."
ReplyDeleteAh lovely -- equilibrium gives a great lightness! Thank you and thanks so much for your kind visits. k.
ReplyDeleteLess often is more: in this short poem, you've captured a beautiful moment. Thought-provoking, exhilarating.
ReplyDeleteYes...very nice...captured perfectly.
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful! I loved this Audrey. :<)
ReplyDeleteThat connection to both indicates true balance... not easily achieved. Brava!
ReplyDeleteoh how beautiful!
ReplyDeletewith your brevity, you make the profound connection accessible and mysterious. lovely form, too.
ReplyDeletelovely to revisit this poem, Audrey. K. (manicddaily)
ReplyDeleteYes, isn't it amazing how sky and earth meet but do not merge into one?
