confidence

Confidence is closely linked to how well our perceptions match reality.
~Matthieu Ricard

content with moments
as they breeze across pine groves
confidently dancing

relaxed with movements
self-consciousness swings away
so gentle we are

stars don't ask to be seen
shine on their own pretty fine
as we dance so free

merging with what is
our mardis gras masks left at door
naked confidence
