floating, soaring, hovering-
i am sailing throughout this atmosphere
beyond these flourescent lights
blinding my sight
flying through the clouds that engulf me
i am suddenly swallowing stars
spheres of fuel
illuminating my core
you see me from below, but i am beyond your grasp
i do not see planets, the pieces of rock that are bound to their circular existence; i transcend them
darkness
stirs around me
the night swallows me
the light between my organs is sheltered but dimming
i look down for you,
but beyond my sight you dwell
in faithless light,
in darkness more hopeless than this
i am a dull, fading glow
flickering, going out
the stars come sparingly here now and
even they yearn to find hope
but i look ahead
past the darkness
past these lands of glittering blackness
that won't let me go
and i see,
far in the distance,
unreachable, yet approaching- a blossoming light
i am flailing, swimming-
desperation surrounds my soul
i am somersaulting, pushing through the vacuum of emptiness, panting,
dying, my limbs crumbling and breaking off,
hunger churns in my bones, these dry cracking bones that can only support a dimming light
dark liquid is pulling me down
an undertoe, a rip current of death.
i can't see the bottom, it is depthless- inescapable.
i open my eyes and i see ripples of light- reflections above me
the sea surrounds me; i am the only one left.
the weak have perished
why have i not?
am i still flickering?
has my light not gone completely out?
i am leaving, the tide pulls me under
being absorbed into the earth.
it has overtaken me, eaten me, i am being gnawed at, i am lying-
motionless,
deceased?
dead?
a seed in the soil?
my eyes close and i awake
an orchestra of sounds, drums and ripping guitar, pianos applauding my return
i am alive
i am here
dancing, celebrating,
spinning with my arms outstretched, i am eating colors
i am the spectrum, a prism of life,
a white stone
tabula rasa
my eardrums are exploding
i am illuminating the kingdom
bouncing off the ground
putting air into my pockets
floating higher, being propelled past the brightness to the origin of it,
the light is so bright it is sparkling,
every facet burns my eyes.
they won't shut, the diamonds are sticking to my skin, absorbed by my pores, sinking deep inside of me
i am overwhelmed, deceased than alive
rotting now shining
the light is too much and i am breathing.
feathers getting stuck in my throat,
swallowing wisdom,
choking on joy
i am spinning, falling, rising
beyond realization
the sky is around me, a milky canvas
living and breathing and shifting
between my toes,
through the grasp of my fingers,
like syrup through my palms
entering into my bloodstream
it is pulling me higher and i can't breathe through my mouth,
just through my pores which are open wounds on my skin,
i see my insides-
colors, dimensions, cities inside of me
rivers of yellow sunbursts,
i am exploding, going deeper and being restored to fit my surroundings
my body has taken another form
with words
chewing on my soul
letters connecting and readjusting
symbols taking the form of words
i exhale wind that shakes the universe,
expanding the light which has a form,
reaching to the last places where it doesn't exist,
the jealous illuminant
my insides are burning with a flame i know will never cease
the white, liquid flame
setting ablaze my body
it is reaching to my heart,
yearning, stretching, barely reaching it when suddenly,
it explodes
words and colours, symbols and animals from my body are thrown into orbit, facing life, finding fuel in the atoms, and my brain is melted
i open my eyes and i cannot see anything
i am in the sun
dwelling, possessing
am i the sun?
the son?
a figure is in front of me, a robe of flames that stretches for miles,
i cannot see anything.
all of a sudden,
he opens his eyes and they jut deep into me,
i am transported,
into a clear ocean.
azul life
crashing waves
i cannot be a human here
his eyes are flames of glory burning, possessing, ruining, ravishing, destroying, prophesying to my soul.
breathing art-
paintings,
songs, notes, and shifting changes
he speaks, in a language unknown to me, yet i understand-
the atmosphere sparkling, swirling around me
his gaze is fixed on me-
he whispers,
slowly,
"i've been waiting for you. i've been waiting to show you. we are one."
i am anew.
