Motion,
as in the way
the feathers on my dream catcher
drift away...
Every time I turn on my ceiling fan.
Motion,
as in the way
the dog hairs on my bed rock,
back and forth,
with each breath I take.
Motion,
as in the way
your lips curl,
into a Cheshire cat grin
and say "What?",
every time you catch me staring into your beautiful eyes.

The author's comments:
I wrote it about a guy I really liked in my class. He's gone now but i think it's a pretty good poem.
