getting the lights on

The ongoing fight with the voices inside our head
to unify, to make a sound recognizable to our ears
to magnify each other, in unison.
The dream:
Our voice was completely and totally captured.

It came in the form of a brilliant light

 

Looking out the window, eyes drawn to the light
I was floating, free from the bounds of flesh

Something was holding me up, perhaps it was
the possibility of falling that fell away from my mind

There was something below me
something all around me,
something all around.
The light was coming from somewhere
It wasn’t just coming from me.

 

I looked around
and saw no one,
but felt something.
recognition

 

I knew that no matter where I was, I was always there
back in some corner of my mind, there was a light
and I was crowding around it.
And I wasn’t alone.

 

I didn’t hear the sound
and neither did he

 

But we live for the glimpses,
the correspondence
and welcome it when it comes.

 

Bathed in the silence I have never been more happy to fight.

Leap of faith

Sometimes it feels like I can clear the gap
between where I’m standing and where I’ll end up
and that’s when I want to jump

I want to feel the impact of my body
falling through the air
Slipping through the seconds
The rush of the wind coming out from under my body as it hits the surface of the air
And then leaves it

With only the whisper of me, not my name

I want to share my secrets with the land that gave birth to me,
and get lost in the space between–
completely suspended in this beautiful energy
I could fly forever.

I could plunge the depths and never have to worry about coming back up for air.
