Poetry: Steps
Getty/Maria Korneeva
pausing in that
moment of light
between the steps
of now
and imagination
swimming
in the heartbeat
of her words
I hear the melody
of another life
you sleep
beneath the moon
as I slip
into the covers
of imagination
“There is the world of “now” that we can see and touch and the world of imagination that takes us where we want to go. The magic is in the moment these two worlds touch, where we swim in the heartbeat of desire and transform that into reality.” —Frank Watson
