Lint

by Kristina Woodhill

Lifted up and almost lyrically you float, tiny specks drifting through my day
Illuminated, no - glowing, no - accepting all light that freely comes your way
No hesitation in your direction, no moments lost while you decide
Tides take you, or do you take the tides, for your rides?

very sweet and at first almost scientifically romantic. i liked this poem in its essential brevity and sincerity. the power of one person's effects. so good.

i'm amazed that you could write a piece about lint! i mean, the stuff i dust and attempt to get rid of :) it is so refreshing reading about the simplicity of life, those things we easily overlook.. i believe we can learn from everything in our surroundings and see, you've taught me a little something just by studying something i would overlook :)

Thats how one lives in the spur of the moment, refusing to glide towards assumed time and situations.Beautiful.

Lint has just become more noticeable on this computer screen. With a flair for devil-may-care :)

I think what is important is that this poem has taken me for a joyous and philosophical ride and may our hearts be as light as that lint when it is time for us to vacate the premises of that coat, which does not float as well as lint, but it sure is warm when you need it like this poem.

I just love the way this poem demonstrates the glory of the artist's eye. The next time I attack the lovely little creatures, found dead upon my black pants, I will try to remember your poem. :-)
