A chapter in the book Natural Light

Into the Wind

by estory

As I let go of myself,
Empty of the sleeves of shirts,
Empty of shoes, leaving
Places I have been,
Dust of earth,
Frames of photographs
Falling back down to the ground

As I spread my arms and
Fly, catching the wind,
Rising
And rising into clarities,
A pure, crystalline breath

Unembodied,
In the light itself,
A leaf letting go of summer
And the seasons of lives,

Discovering fancy and flight
In the wind's imaginations,
In the air's light





This free verse poem is part three of my wind songs series. I tried to capture the feeling of freedom of spirit, hope, a sense of unencumbered selflessness. It relies heavily on alliterations, open ended rhythms, and images, verbs giving you that feeling of lift and weights dropping off your shoulders. estory
