Gold Leafed Feet

On a bed, placed in the centre of a massive rustic warehouse, he arose, setting out the order for the day when his thoughts brushed an unexpected idea which seemed at odds, unfathomable…the notion of possibility…

Spent as it seemed
Over an aging arm chair
Over the beige edge
Of life

The moment
Pulsing with excitement
Lifted
And sailed

Landing lightly
On its winged
Gold leafed
Feet

    Congratulations on a beautiful piece of writing.
    I have my own interpretation of this piece (hope you don’t mind)
    It hit me like a book.
    Wonderful

    Hi Danny, thanks for the comment. I havn’t shared any writing for some time so maybe people forgot about me doing this :) Or maybe it was just really bad or hard to ‘get’ like some of my other stuff .) Anyway great to see your watching. Cheers buddy.

    I don’t know how I missed this either. I am having trouble keeping up with my activity monitor. I am so glad I came to prowl around your page and see if I’d missed anything!

    “Landing lightly

    Gold leafed
    Feet”

    That created such amazing images and emotion inside me.

    Just beautiful, Robert. Beautful.
