To think about the same things in a different way.
(To think is to play with meaning.)
And to be struck with a heaviness that makes me sink through the ground,
only to find that there's nothing but air underneath.
Gaps between layers of earth.
I can dig down to another one.
I can run on the surface of one ad infinitum.
Or I could float.
I can fly between two then push off with both legs from the bottom of one to burst through the top of another.
I can clench both fists full of dirt along the way to spread them spinning around me in the empty gap above.
I can watch it all bloom,
surrounded by beauty,
and feel filled up with love.
I wanted to write something tonight.
I wanted to write something metaphysical and transcendental,
but I didn't want to feel the pressure of the task of it.
I didn't want to fret about how to end it.
I just wanted to reflect beauty that I'd witnessed today.
I wanted to feel free for a moment.
I wanted to play.
