A stepping stone

a stepping stone
etched with a dragonfly
and welcome ...
…..the earth, the heavens,
……….me somewhere in between

—Skylark, 3:2, Winter 2015

I believe I must have one foot firmly on the ground and the other somewhere in the clouds.

    Your words: so pretty and ethereal ... they conjure forth a lovely fairytale-esque visual.

      Thanks so much, Wendy!
      I've been enjoying your pub'd tanka that I've been seeing.

    I love this one. It captures the human situation--literal & metaphorical--so perfectly!

      Thanks! Am glad I got the kinks worked out of this one. A couple of years ago, I had to fiddle a bit with the last part.

    Ahhh...a nice welcome to this world of earth and the heavens. A poet has to be in both places to be a poet.
