an uncertain landing

a collaborative poem

the sky changes 
without losing itself
its colours always transforming
yet its expansive expression
remains unaltered

perhaps
that is how we survive
the everyday:
allowing for soft breaks 
in the stifling familiarity
that is each rotation

bearing witness
to the back and forth
of every season and every sunrise
into the dark
then into the light
‘round and ‘round we go
not needing to control
where life is taking us

rather
we find our own way
interrupting the monotony
of the merry go round
by jumping and trusting
that our hearts can survive 
the risks
of an uncertain landing

Please note:

sometimes when creating a collaborative poem, it ends up that even smaller fragments lead to a unified whole or that words and phrases call for further shaping and moulding. This is no reflection on the contributor. Instead, it’s a beautiful reminder that the creative process is always filled with twists and turns.
