Balancing here
like a tiny sparrow
shaking upon your fingertips
aware that with one slight move
the ground shall rise beneath me;
yet I still sing
remembering I can fly
Author notes
~ Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all the time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there
Watching me, wanting me

Oh a subtle and beautiful take on the prompt. Speaks of being fragile in someone's presence, yet still having enough courage to fly should the need be!

A very unique take on the prompt! I love your interpretation of it. Fragile and beautiful, yet hopeful at the same time. Wonderful!
