the limit, as life approaches perfection

Like climbing mountains

 

I have never felt

Such a light inside of me

Or seen it

I’ve believed it

 

In a state

In many states

Of melting

And freezing

Reforming into new and beautiful things

Dangerous and sharp

Some kinds too hot, and some below freezing

Each one death and unyielding

Then soft and smooth

To warm and soothe

Heaven to the touch

 

Getting brighter and brighter

The sum, being greater than each individual part

Some dim, some blinding

Some unsure and flickering

Some burning the eyes

Unable to stand its glare

Its net, an overall and fascinating amplification

 

I turn my neck

Back to the left

And back to the right

Trying to see what is behind me

But refusing to turn my whole body  

My eyes are uncomfortable

When not looking straight ahead

But there are still glimpses

Here and there

And here I am refusing to stare.

 

My pace is quite quick

And a friend says, ‘you are like the mother goose’

I cant help but utter a giggle

And a crinkle of my nose

I like walking fast, to get my heart beating

For the right reasons

Those physiological reasons

But then again they all are

Damn amygdala

The exciting reasons

Of trying to reach life right at your finger tips

 

Falling from the clouds

 blankets of air caressing every twist and turn of the body

and then

Swimming in the ocean

Deep below

And breathing in the water

The sweet water

 

Lying on the beach

The salt becoming crust

Collecting in that groove of my collar bone

Breathing in the sunshine

And feeling warm

All over, everywhere

 

Jumping up and down

And half conscious but fully conscious

Without inhibition

Is that being conscious?

Conscious of nothing, but being everything that you are and want to be

Without restrictions and without responsibility or judgement

Its hysterical

Singing at the top of my lungs

About everything and possibly nothing

Impossible probably

Somebody said, ‘who was singing? That was beautiful.’

It will be though, more so than now

 

This fire, burning through uncertainty and fear

Creating clarity

Sometimes I just can’t stop laughing

Or smiling

Walking with your back straight, shoulders back,

And your head held high

Blowing kisses to passing strangers

 

I have a secret

And I want you and everyone else to know it.

Just come dancing for one night

Singing in the dark

Being half conscious

But absolutely, positively and completely aware

I love this from beginning to end. From the ever changing entity that we are, to the bold singer who sings into the night. THis is truly a self portrait of introspective beauty. When I finished reading this (all three times) I felt a rush of inspiration and satisfaction. I love the confident soul that you are, saying "Just come dancing for one night". A taste of losing yourself in the moment, for the moment...

Amazing!
