Into You

On the edge of reality I fade to discover.

A conscious mind falls into the pit of compliance

And it feels as if I finally sense the wire that connects me with this

 body


The air, the same

But I run through it with a heavier footing

Into rapid scenes

Following a ecstasy submerged in the 

past


I sail alone unearthing all the encompasses me

Sinking through my joints til all that wallows around me is ocean

I am destined to be this solemn

 drifter


With no remembrance of signing these terms

Now shedding expectations

Naked with 

acceptance


No more conception to layer between a past and a future

The scales tremble under me

For that opposite balance before me failed to find peace this

 quickly


An umbrella casts its shadow

A hand of sweet support to understand this gesture of life

As I lay on my head to the ribs

Resting until or exhales sync

Sighing until our inhales hold

 weight


The daydreams will call the curtain

Our bow will be set in gratitude 

My voice will only call out to my soul 

Through the hearts of the audience.

Hoping something saw me go.

I had a spiritual experience that inspired this poem about independence and finding an innocent part of you to heal.
