Through the Layers.
I found myself falling the other day, not stumbling over a root of a tree, or loosing my step from the curve.
But like a lost aviator, stuck on autopilot, being ejected from high in the sky,
past the moon and the stars
I was
Falling and
Falling and
Falling.
I thought I saw the ground coming,
but it's only just another cloud
brushing against my hot skin
cooling me like a winter breeze
in the middle of Florida day in July.
Soaking my clothes, cleansing my body and soul
like an Islamic man washing his hands in pure water before prayer.
Falling and
Falling and
Falling.
Maybe a parachute can swoop up all the air and create a violent jerk back to reality letting me get a clear yet confused look over the area
But I don't want that parachute to open.
I want my soul and heart to fuse and twist into a spiraling bomb towards the heart of the one that pushed me over.
Destroying all surrounding enemies, threats and sorrows.
My flames will not be flames, and my shrapnel with not cut.
But,
I'm still falling and
Falling and
Falling
Opening my eyes, like a new born child, blind to my surrounds, instinctively letting out a cry, being grabbed by my hand and nestled in between.
Feeling a new sensation of breath, noise and touch.
Until patted on my back when I forget to breath, looking up when my eyes un-cloud, seeing who has made me a victim
I am falling
Far from the ground, up into the sky,
Thrusters at full capacity and weight at maximum until reaching a hemisphere where I release my boosters,
strip my weight and become a small powerful ship
Containing my mind, to take me to further places
I am falling.
Past the lands I once thought I discovered, when I was poked and prodded by a false prophet that stripped my lands and killed my village,
seeking my splendors but only wanting to sabotage my heritage.
I am falling.
Past the lands I wanted to bunker in, where my bomb shelter laid full of my own pride, my own ideas, my own foolishness.
I had all I wanted, the irresponsibility, the pleasures, yet; my soul was missing there and I was stuck trying to find it.
I am falling.
Past the lands where you either hunt or be hunted.
Yet I came short on game and settled for rats and rabbits, containing no nutrients, having so substance.
I have fallen.
To lands that are unknown.
The air is sweet, and my skin feels different.
My heart beats a different drum, and my soul flows through the air, greeting me with smiles and anticipation.
