Among the Stars

Maybe, just maybe,

If I leapt from the ground

The wind would

Take me in flight.

---

My skin,

Paper thin,

Flowing in the breeze.

---

A lightness in my soul,

Begging me to go.

---

My dreams,

Deep in my head

As I sleep

In my bed.

I soar,

And never cease.

---

I fly,

Oh so high.

I touch the sky

And gravity no longer

Holds me tight.

---

Higher I go.

Now stars are

All I see.

Planets align

Before my eyes.

---

Quickly,

The universe lurches forward.

Endless walls grow closer,

Pressing in on me.

---

Lights begin to flash.

They dash

Around my head.

---

At once,

The walls merge

With my flesh.

The lights begin to

Flash behind my eyes.

---

Stars swirl around

In my mind.

Cracks form

Along my arms.

Blinding light escapes through.

---

In a flash,

I am gone.

Pieces remain

Among the stars.

---

Find me there.

A flare

In the sun.

A twinkle from

A star.

I burn in the dark.

Seek me

Within your heart.
