Ii

[[edit_out]]

one moment,
just a moment ago,
i stopped to look
and just let go
my torment and my desire
i dropped like bricks
that burned with fire
and now i am surprised to find
i’m rising far above myself
the burdens
(which had warped my mind)
were down below
i’d left behind
anger, envy, fear and wrath
but also love, and how to laugh
i’d miss them all if i could care
but, now i am far above
rising faster, sailing up
my old form i can barely see
my body’s tiny, small and dull
was that really me?
i’m almost at the limit now
up, and up, I’m near the top
i have time for one last thought
(i feel very weary,
and this is getting scary)
and then before I know it
i am not.
