Day 240 - Inner Reflection

Calmness soars around me here

Wisps of aura can be discovered flying

In this place where I exterminate fear

Past all the hills of endless crying

I gaze into the depths of my soul

Past shadowy fields and many a rainbow

Until I find a balance that makes me whole

And my breathing becomes soft and low

A thrum builds in my quiet breast

Peace in this physical insanity

Empowering my heart and feeling blessed

Trusting the spinning of my humanity

Strung as pearls on a perfect chain

In a spiraling galaxy of my being I gave in

To the platinum grasses and the glowing plain

Whispering how to be set free and begin

The levitation of all that I possess now

Above this cozy seat I know so well

I discover my body never need again bow

It has so many secrets it is happy to tell

In vibrant shades of black at my silent request

Through echoing cold white tunnels I will traverse

All to be welcomed to a loving flowing rest

As sweet as any in this floating universe

Day 219 - Hopes to Fly, Fall

So many attempts to fly

Wings cast aside time and again

White and waiting hopefully

Like the simple words of the wren

Some attempts sopped up tears

In feathery branching out of wings

Crushed by the blackest boulders

Still even the crow sometimes sings

Standing up curved to the sky (or ceiling)

Ready to start the failure to fall

Success is how the end should be feeling

Embracing what remains of it all

Day 194 - Gravity Giving Out

One day gravity gave out on me
So I floated high up for all to see
Like a balloon against the sky so blue
Up and away I went and the farther I flew
The more I missed the blue flowers down there
And all the hugs that show how much people care

You see on the ground I could dance and sing
Songs like the classic "I don't wanna miss a thing"
But that means much more when you are high in the clouds
Far away from the rock concert thriving crowds
Or the smell of your mother's chicken soup secrets
And the cuddling of your many panting and happy pets

It seemed so thrilling being like a bird so high
Waving as airplanes passed me in the sky
But only until I saw the passengers happily land
And the people on the beach, toes in the sand
Flight is a blessing many wish for when they are young
But the magic of Earth is the most melodious song unsung

The amazing trees rooted deep into the ground
The screeching yet beautifully renewing sound
Of a babe barely born into this place
And the sweat covering a laughing mother's face
But most of all true friends and close family
Makes the ground my favorite place to be

Day 101 - Soaring Hopes

Soaring Hopes

High above on wings of white

The carrier begins to shed light

Down onto the earth below

What a breathtaking show

You see her alone high above

Seemingly without another to love

Yet she is the leader in this sky

Crossing boldly to bravely defy

All that has been done before

Nothing can match her

She who dares to dream blue

The most brilliant and sweet hue

That calms and excites everyone

Hope on wings willing to stun

But not just hope soars up high

There is also the long lasting sigh

Of joy as her fellows follow

For it is only then that a leader can know

The sacred and the unseen

What all this has come to mean
