I Fly

there are diamonds
in the shattering
of the glass
and nothing
holds me away
from my purpose
I had lost my
way in yesterday
hearing the song
of a siren’s
lullaby of salt
a gentle quiet
music beyond sound
but a closer caress
moves me
like the breath
of the ocean
and with feet
off of the ledge
I fly

"wish your room had room for two" John Mayer

It felt like a gentle rush...
