Come and get me! I scream into the wind.
I’m not going anywhere without prompting!
See this? This is me sitting!
I watch my avatars’ hair whipping violently.
As the words are swallowed by the storm surrounding them.
My view pans through, I see the growling sky above,
And the roaring sea beneath, neither beast,
outweighing the one within me.
A fight for life to the death, one of us is going…
My avatar looks at the contents in its hands.
Eyes harden to green diamonds.
A million facets, each full of separate stories,
Dissolving into pure potential.
It’s you or me… I watched its fists slowly closing.
This is it… A small smile grows and glistens.
Outshining the lightning and flashing crests,
until both seem to be watching the little seed cracking between.
My arm stretches behind my back.
I toss the burdensome baggage like a concrete sack.
Down it goes, plunging… Until the waves swallow it whole,
its shadows sink past the shallows, and suddenly…
The ocean beneath is docile as the feeling growing inside of me.
I breathe and release the last of the old from my body.
I watch the smoke rise to the sky above me,
swallowed by the clouds until their gushing ceases to be.
They part ways, returning golden light to me.
As if to show they’ve accepted the offering.
Lighter than air, I turn and dip,
without a thought, I toss over the cliff.
Plunging toward the placid mass beneath,
the solid ground I’ve left behind me.
Close my eyes to realize,
that everything, is everything,
and in due season I reach what is meant to be.
With each breath through life, to deaths seam,
I’ll know better what this means to me.
I open my eyes feeling light as a feather.
What a perfect meditation for this beautiful summer weather.
