Unsteady Footing
for the competition Your Steadfast Love
I slipped
On your steadfast love.
I wasn't watching
Where I was going.
Usually I know better.
I stood
On your immovable will,
Trying to reach
Your arms
Held just above me.
I wasn't tall enough.
I peeked
Into your open mind.
Saw broad horizons
And caught a glimpse
Of fun and dirty things.
I think I saw myself in there.
I heard
The music of your heart,
And couldn't help but sway
To the steady beat.
It was in part the song
That brought me here.
The view
From your soaring soul
Is more than breathtaking.
I became addicted
To the rush
Of running near you,
But then I slipped.
I slipped
On your steadfast love.
I wasn't watching
Where I was going.
Usually I know better.

On your immovable will,
Trying to reach
Your arms
Held just above me.

I think I saw myself in there.
I heard
The music of your heart,
And couldn't help but sway
To the steady beat.
It was in part the song
That brought me here.
The view
From your soaring soul
Is more than breathtaking.
I became addicted
To the rush
Of running near you,
But then I slipped.

Starlight.
This is stunning. The structure is great and makes it easy to read and take each different stanza in.
as said above a couple of times it is beautiful and also some sadness going on there too.
Shine on starlight!

The sadness of watching yourself fall and knowing your ass is about to hurt. :) You are clever to have caught it. Overall light and happy, with that little touch of "oops".
Thank you for the sweet words.
