LIGHTNESS
IS NEVER TAKEN LIGHTLY
THE LIGHTNESS OF FUTILITY
THAT IS SOMETIMES USEFUL, EVEN NECESSARY
THE LIGHTNESS OF DISCARDING WEIGHTS
TO RISE TO THE SURFACE
AND THEN FLY HIGH
THE LIGHTNESS OF A SMILE
THAT SLOWLY LIGHTS UP THE FACE
OF SOMEONE WHO COMPLETES
A JOB WELL DONE
THE LIGHTNESS OF REDISCOVERING
THAT LIFE IS BASICALLY
A GAME
AND LOVE IS THE BEST DOUBLES THERE IS
THE LIGHTNESS OF REMEMBERING
THAT LAUGHING TOGETHER IS GOOD FOR THE SOUL
AND LAUGHING AT YOURSELF MAKES US ADULTS
THE LIGHTNESS OF OVERCOMING TECHNIQUE
TO FIND POETRY
THE LIGHTNESS OF HUMOR,
SENSITIVITY,
IMAGINATION
THE LIGHTNESS OF THINGS
SO LIGHT THAT LAST FOREVER
