I gaze upon the stars
close to the heart yet so far.
A gigantic bed of stars
floating in the ocean.
Eyes glued to the sky
heart racing pupils dilate.
I am thunderstruck;
once in a million surreal reality or dream,
an ocean upside down?
Lost deep in mysterious chants
snapping out of picturesque trance.
Far away above my head
sky isn't sky it's an ocean.
But how do I dive into it?
I hold my breath rub my feet
against ground to break the spell.
Am I sleeping is it a dream?
I move my hands walk around
It's all happening its real.
Liffting legs up I jump in the air
gravity gone wind is my plane.
The water stars swaying too far
breathing high I fly and fly,
breathlessness low adrenaline rush high.
Hanging in there below the roof of wet crystals,
I try putting my hands into it.
The moment fingertips touch the water
ocean breaks
stars fall
trance is broken.
The end of world end of me?
Before I think before I die
within a fraction of a second
everything is upside down.
Now the ocean is down up is sky
night is day stars are sun.
I am sitting at the beach
playing with other children.
