INFINITY

I twist and turn, unable to sleep

I lay upwards, close my eyes and think

My empty mind speaks in silence

Unable to breathe steadily as I try to sleep

I feel something occurring

Maybe the stars turning, my world evolving

Coming closer and closer

The winds outside shatter my doors open

As I step outside my balcony, I see the never unseen

A butterfly rests on my nose and speaks

“I will teach you a lesson but, in exchange you will gift me one

tear”

Butter yellow becomes my sky

She twirls

She twirls

Watching her wings dance

She says, “Aim high, don’t let yourself stay behind”

And a tear I gave to her in kind

I’m beginning to wonder if this is a dream

Reality now seems abstract, although, I feel more content when she

makes eye contact

She says: “Come fly with me”

And as I float higher her hug caves in

Feeling the shift, she pushed me in

An exchange of our smiles became the last I’d see from her

“Bye, bye” …the butterfly sighs

As quickly as I blink, from a butterfly to an owl

My eyes collide and intertwine

It’s feathers glowing in colors I’ve never seen trance me to feel

Unconditional love

It’s eyes beaming with the intensity of a white star

I can’t remember ever seeing a face so sure of the truth

I began to weep at their sight, overwhelmed by all of their might

I wished to know all of their wrongs and rights

The Owl speaks… “Listen”

Unsure of how to respect an angel, I nod

They began by saying

“You mustn’t be as quick to run away, to live in the moment makes

it better to stay”

Tears fell and shattered the ground

Hands armored against the impact, no wounds yet to be found

I had to ask them if I had the wrong perspective

They said: “no, just trust your own, make sure not to doubt it

anymore”

I began to understand why this was all happening

This is what I’ve always wanted,

I’ve asked and asked

The last words they said to me were…

“On your journey you must learn to observe”

As the owl flies away, so did I

Is this the journey they referred to?

Floating through the universe seems calmer than it’s made to

believe

I hear a dragon’s roar; I look down to the depths of space and

watch it glide towards me

“You reflect me, I reflect you

We are each other, we are true”

I kept my silence while feeling honored to at least be dreaming

about them

“Why is it so hard to believe you are here? Believe in what you see.

I will teach you to dominate your existence”

My thoughts fade and become wider and lighter

My body stretches and I become

Asleep and faded into the colors and fractions of space and time

My mind expanded to feel every corner of existence

I could still hear the dragon, “Forever on your side I will be”

I couldn’t believe, the mysteries that laid asleep are being awaken

by my command

One hour ago, I could not imagine this would happen

A butterfly came to my rescue

She turned to the void, leaving an ever-changing impact on my

seasons

The owl whom became my second hand

Without them I would not have realized my greatest potential

And a dragon whom I am now a part of,

We forever live within and amongst each other

We are part of the ever-occurring infinity which surrounds.
