I The Wind

I run
Muscles burning like fire
But then..
Wind encases my body
Gently pushing against my back
Fueling me forward
Hair fluttering along behind me
Cold air I breath
Soothing my warm muscles
In….
Out……
Calm
Relaxed
A hand on my back propels me forward
Faster than ever
My feet no longer need ground
Buzzing energy ignites within me
Coursing through my veins
Taking over my body
Wind is me
I am wind
We are one
We travel as far and long as we want
Never tiring
Gathering speed the longer we go
Time seems to slow
I lift my fingers 
Caressing a tulip
As I skim overhead
Weightless
Cool
Smooth
Bliss
Back up to speed 
I feel..
Changed.
Stronger
Smarter
Limber
Nothing is better
Than soaring through the clouds
Watching everyone
Everything
Power fills me
I never want this feeling to end.

  • Awaiting An Invitation

    Tree limbs dance in
    the breeze of baited breath,
    roots threaten to break ground zero.
    time;
    too much
    too little
    only the trees understand 
    me

    glass stregthens
    mirrors melt
    clouds converge and darkness reigns

    Sentenced

    I am guilty

    The bars which restrain me
    are but my own fault

    I am guilty

    The lifeless walls
    frozen, unfeeling
    yield no give as I fight to break free

    My crimes:
    To want,
    the stars

    Only A Memory

    The wind
    brushes my cheek, with a kiss. 
    Neck craned, my eyes
    skim the sky in bliss

    The scene before me,
    a canvas to interpret,
    I stare, deep within the soul of each star
    this game I refuse to forfeit.
