Prompt: All I Want is ____ (fill in the blank)




All I Want is a Light Step

A laughing, skipping lightness
Put my feet one in front of the other
Like a tightrope walker
Solid and sure and unbalanced
Only for show, to thrill the crowd
Spinning and stepping
With no thought to the landing

love the closing line; perhaps it was written with no thought to the landing - a reward to the writer and the reader.
