Favorite Quote:
The stars in order twinkle in the skies,
And fall in silence, and in silence rise.

- William Broome


A breeze

as light

as air;

fluttering, twirling,

dancing a joyous dance

that causes the stumbling pebbles

at the edge of the river

to begin a sudden journey.




Down




into the treacherous rapids,

where it sank

like a rock.


The author's comments:
Think about the things we say every day: "as light as air," "as hard as a rock," "as soft as a feather." But what happens when they are compared to themselves...?
