Dec 2011
Approaching a clearing in the mind,
Open and vulnerable to the elements
Alone and free, experimentation is a natural path

Burdens lift from shoulders, floating overhead
Paper crumpled in the hands of divinity
Blown away on the whispered promises of better things to come

Sanctity swells around the feet like a fog
Wandering through fallen leaves, memories discarded with no value
Rustles roll to thunderous applause

Eyes open, head tilts to the heavens
View unadulterated, comprehension unhindered
Empty sky, so simple now

Peace sinks heavy through constricted nerves,
An old home, vacant for so long
Senses overwhelmed, must pause for reflection

Past plugged into socket stars,
Space seems less distant now,
A dashboard of cause and effect

Eyes adjust, nature's palette returns again,
Forest thickens, clearing closing in
Experience a buried fossil, waiting rediscovery
