Ok Ok..so this one's not a poem..Its a free writting i did with a writting group at my community college...It was really fun to do. To imagine what it was like to leave your body behind for one day with no adverse consequences. Sometime i wish it could really happen
I TRY AND FLY
Quietly i sit absorbing the sun
breathing deep breaths
I relax and let go
with a sensation like a lifting burden
I leave my body behind
Up in the air, through the sky i go
Off to places unkown
faster and faster I go
Looking down at the normal life around me
people scurrying here to there
trapped on the ground
clouds caress my invisible form
like unseen comforters hands
birds call in my ear as we race toward tommorrow
Colors so vibrant, the taste of freedom
overloading my senses, urging me forward
Down i float into a fire
crackling on fresh logs
the heat excites my soul
flame imps cavort around me
sensuously warming my body
urging me to join thier dance
jumping turning, my feet move me
learning steps i once knew
enjoying being wild and unhindered
held down by nothing
Down down i dive into the sea
putting out my frenzied flames
calming my scattered dance
sooting my calamity
Deep and dark quietness surrounds me
slowly unhurriedly fish dance by
moving to an unplayed waltz
sea plants wave cheerily in the blue green light
tickling those who pass by
brushing away cares
Down Down Down Deep i go
into the earths waiting arms
surrounded by cool soil
my soul gains wisdom
guided by the Mother
I learn things long forgotten
of peace and acceptance
of love and nurtured growth
She teaches me how to live
and show me what it is to die
fear leaves me
and strength and knowledge infuse me
Up and out i go
invigorated by what i've seen
I sink back into my body
a day well spent
I go on my way
