Down to the earth

*                *
        *      

I fell with dripping wings
Heavy things won’t fly-
*                *
        *  

And the sky might catch on fire
to burn the axis of the world

*

*

*

that’s Why
*              *
       *
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes…
*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

And I …feel so light
*              *
       *

This is all… I feel tonight
*              *
       *          
And I feel so light
       *

       *
    
       *
Tonight and the rest of my life

*              *
       *

Gleaming in the dark sea
I’m as light as air …floating there, breathlessly
When the dream dissolves
I open up my eyes
I realize that -

Everything is shoreless sea


A weightlessness is passing over me
And I feel so light
*               *               *
        *               *
This is all… I feel tonight…
*       *       *       *
*       *       *       *
*       *       *       *
*       *       *       *
And I… feel so Light…
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life
*       *       *       *
    *       *       *
*       *       *       *

Eternity is waves and stars…
The universe is resting in my heart
*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  
*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *
I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
And I feel so light
This is all I feel tonight
And I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life


Everything is waves and stars…
The universe is resting in my arms

I feel Light… this all I feel tonight…

I am Light…

Tonight

And the rest of my Life
*     *     *     *     *     *        
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *
*     *     *     *     *     *

Everything is waves and stars…
The universe is resting in my heart

I am Light… this all I am tonight…

I am Light…

Tonight

And the rest of my Life

this is an exquisite write of surreality and serenity...and so very unique and creative, which is your trademark style



Though my soul may sleep in darkness ...
it will arise in perfect light.
For I have loved the stars much too fondly
to be fearful of the night.

I was reborn on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay
Virginia hasn't yet faded away
I keep thinking tomorrow is coming today
So I am endlessly waiting

save a bunch of grammatical errors and all those star thingies, this poem is worthy of publication.
