I Let Go, Wings Still

You move through me, a pulse,
Flickering flame, ethereal yet firm -

Transmutation,

And I’m flying, wings of fire spread

Across the Cosmos, growing larger as I glide,

Wind funneling through,

I can see forever, alternate dimensions,

Purple skies, turquoise rivers wind like snakes,

Galaxies glimmering just within reach,

I let go, wings still -

The fire dies and I hover, an eternity passes,

Heartbeat dancing ancient rhythms -

The breath of my breath,

In and out,

A wave, inhale, exhale,

Feet to Earth once again,

Arms stretched toward the Heavens,

Attuned to the Universe,

Vibrating,

You are the lightning strike,

Grounded.
