Peel Away

I peeled away the skin of door
And scalped the mind of evermore
I entered in this core of place
And now I float in inner space.

The free fall is an eerie wheel
As gravity recedes in feel
Dominion has lost its lay and
Opinion finds a different weigh

There is no up there is no down
And sideways spins you like a clown
And senses are but memories seem
It’s almost like the drift of dream

It’s here I seek the genie lair
The magic of the changing flare
The essence of the gift of prime
The substance of the sands of time

Give me liberty or give me death
Or give me knowledge of my breath.

You offer up, always, a different light ~
and makes me think you're ever bright...

Good morning, Sy...a biscuit with your tea?

Ah such a wonderful morning read today Sy!
I'm pouring Chai tea today, that okay?
~Morning Hugs, Nancy~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
Dancing with you in the summer rain ~

I too experienced a sense of floating.  I vote for knowledge of breath --

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

I am stopping your free fall with my sweetheart-catching net!Caught My Heart

I'll take you to my angel lair
Where magic is a constant flair
And the essence of your gift of prime
Will rise and shine 'til end of time

Up and attum, Sir Sonneteer!

Sy, if you find that genie, can you send him my way?  Gosh we sure get introspective as we season, don't we?
