I had no body

I had no body; no shape

described me. I was confined

by loneliness, but I was free.

Floating in the sky I could see

a light; so bright but heavy,

so heavy I could not breathe,

could not soar up to meet it.

I was floating but could not fly,

I was alone but I was not free.

I was shapeless in my private space

but I was not me.
