This vast nothing...

by Amanda   Mar 23, 2006


Right now I'm floating
alone in the sky
the clouds are passing
like wind over a field

nothing is holding me up
I'm simply gliding over air
like a bird
blissfully alone

you'd think it's easy
to believe above reality
because thoughts are simple
but they're the opposite

they're complex and torn
between needs and wants
wishes and hopes
life and dreams

so I keep soaring
my heart beating in my chest
and I try to forget
but I can't seem to find rest

sleep is like a blessing
a sweet release
from thoughts and worries
confusion and regrets

I can't feel anything
all ground and support
have fallen away
and I'm left with only belief

but that is strength enough
because I know
that even if it's hard
I can make it through

because believing means
that I can have faith in what I want

and with night approaching fast
I know that the stars will always come out

and suddenly
I'm not gliding anymore
I'm actually flying
with wings like an angel's

feathered and beautiful
graceful and enchanting

I'm transformed
into my true being
my real light
my actual purpose

to fly with the freedom
that was always dreamt of
seen from so far and never reached
like the light at the end of the tunnel

and so
with my new form
I lift myself up
above all the thoughts

and I fly away
