The ascending soul

Has nowhere to go

When up is down and down is up

Stillness is

As good as a any motion...

Devotion, might

Bring you to tears

and make you feel like you’re flowing

Somewhere...

Perhaps back to the beginning

Before names and addresses

A seedling bean in a pond of dreams...

But maybe you’re off and well

On your way

To the end of the stream

Loosening up to your very grain

To join the rest

Resting

Shy to the light, cuddled in dirt...

Either way

You must go!

You feel,

For once

You have somewhere to go!

You must be a kite!

A billowing sea of birds taking flight

A shadow, perhaps,

Of a kid’s red balloon

Still,

Floating you are

Or will be very soon
