Catch Me

Imagine

Ribbons

The silks of an aerial dancer

Tangled

With intent

Catch me

Wrapped around arms

Around legs

Around hips and

Chest

Soft and

Sturdy

Catch me

What delicate grace

Twist and spin

Lean back into thin

Air

What strength

Suspended in the clouds 

A loose grip is a

Sure death

Watching muscles flex

Arching spine

Such a 

Peaceful face

Catch me

If I fall

The encompassing love

The bravest devotion

To the art

So much 

Time

Spent in the sky

Learning

Remembering

Reveling

So high

So high above 

Everything
