On Unfamiliar Wings

As my body lifts, I know,
my hear is not with it.
Fighting and clawing , it will not be subdued.
So I let it continue
knowing despite its protests
choices are scarce.

I will close my eyes to a familiar sunset
but will awaken to a sunrise I have never seen.
Firey, golden, and closer it pushes.
Or maybe I to it.
It is hard to tell at this sleeping moment

Maybve it comes not closer
but grows boldly and ferociously.
I will not let it intimidate

Maybe it has it's own purpose or sense.
It understands its place and knows it existence.
Thought and breath, less stranger than I.

I let these biological curtains fall..let comes loosely off my tongue.
No more say have I
than in the passage of time,
the strength or direction of the wind,
or in the beauty of the stars above and below me.

When the curtain is raised again, this time;
not only will the heavens be different
but the earth too, will be different
Not anymore perfect or imperfect than it was.
Only simpler.
And that is perfect with me
because everyone could use some simplicity.
