Airborne,
Flying
Airborne, flying, High above
all else. "Look down below," Cried the Keeper of the Wind, "See the
fools who glue themselves, To the Earth." Below looked I, And
beheld all else. Above and beyond, As in a dream world, Of my own
choosing. "Amazing," laughed I, "See the wooden, Matchsticks
walk, So rigid and formed, As of the Earth." Above me I happened to
glance, And there still, were others. Wondered I aloud, "They are
as I, Looking down below, What is there above, That cannot be
attained from below?" Higher, higher, climbed I above, Seeing and
saying, With glorious joy, "Amazing, amazing, There is still more
above. The more I rise, The more there is, To see below." And
still yet, I look above, And see those same others, Looking
below. "I will catch you yet!" Yelled I to they. "Hurry, hurry,
We are waiting." Came the reply. Higher and higher, And still
higher yet. Looking up I see all, And looking below I see all.
"Welcome home my friend, It is good to see you again." Came the voice
of Love. Within me my heart, Burst with love and happiness. It
could no longer hold, The expanse of all, And be bound. And so, as
my heart burst, I became a being with no heart. I became what could not
be held any longer.
