I Walk Through Thee
~I Walk Through Thee~
As I stand here 3 Feet Above the Ground
One Hand to my Chin
My Clothing Soft, and Baggy
Spinning Oh so Slowly
I Ponder the many Mortal Trappings
And External Experiences Thus Far
I Tilt My Head Slightly Upward
Noting The Sun Rise, Then Sun Set in One Broad Sweep
And to the Left, Look how the Moon Does Shine This Night
The Ground Below Me Begins to fill with Water
Deep Blue
Inside My Reflection Below I see a Boy
And Now a Girl… Look how they Play
As I stretch my arms Outward, Snow Begins to Fall
A Sudden Chill Fills the Air
I am Not Alone
I Close My Eyes and Take a Deep Breath…
Deeper Now
A Romping of Thunder Can be heard in the Distance
I think about the Things I’ve been Through
The Pleasures… The Pains
The Highs… The Lows
The Loves… The Loss
Suddenly the Cool Air Turns to Clouds as I Open My Eyes
I am in the Sky
When I move my hands It Feels as though These Clouds are Like Water
There is Resistance to it
I start to spin more Rapidly now
And Fall
Head First
My… Look at all the Stars
And Lights
And Landscapes
How The Colors, and Textures Fill Me
I am Not Alone
As I Rapidly Descend Upon the Earth Below
The Dirt… The Meadows… The Rocks… Earths Glow
I Think of You
I am Not Alone
Darkness Be Gone… I am a Million Shattered Lights
And you are my Kite that Carries me again and again into the Sky
I am on my Bed
Looking at the Ceiling, which is Mirrored
I point at me
You are with me…

Cool that you caught that… I write instinctively for the most part. I noticed that I did that in Sweet Embrace as well. Thank you for the kind words, I found this one to be a bit different than the others, was curious what the affect would be.

I love to write, but i have trouble writing something as deep and poignant as this. I guess that’s why I write humor. I make people laugh, while you make them think. Excellent job. I have a question. Who or what is the kite that carries you again and again into the sky?

Thank you for the compliment, I’m glad to hear it had affected you this way. Chances are if you can appreciate the depth and poignancy of something, you might have the ability of writing something with such an affect yourself. I’m not a teacher by any means, but perhaps humor is what you feel “Comfortable” writing. I’m not actually a poet, and what I mean by that is I haven’t spent much time Writing Poetry. Many years back I did Write some Songs, which I then added Chorus to, which is very similar to Poetry. Creative Writing has been more of my thing. However, as someone very close to me who is more of a Poet said, Writing Poetry is often a way of Exploring yourself, which is potentially at least part of why I’ve late. You might try Writing some Poetry in a little hidden book for a while, and see what comes out. The only words I can suggest when doing this is to try to free yourself of boundaries whilst doing it… Listening to music well Writing sometimes helps. Beyond that, I was fortunate enough to grow up with a Mother that was very Emotional, and my Dad wasn’t around so I wasn’t exposed to a whole lot of Macho stuff if you will. I’m by all means not saying that all men are Macho, however my Dad is a bit… Well… Competitive with me, maybe because I’m the Oldest Son. The Creative Freedom/Environment that I grew up in may make it a bit easier for me to access emotions, as well as be comfortable expressing them. Beyond that, I suspect it’s just who I am. So like I say, turn down the lights, turn on some Music that you feel in tuned with at the time, and see what comes out. No Boundaries.
Beyond that, to answer your question, and I admit it’s not always easy to decipher something that emotes out of me, but in this case I believe that My Spirit is the Kite that takes me again and again to the Sky.
Thanks again for the Comment Bothered.

woops, I’m out and about right now, and I think I lost part of a sentence, and an additional sentence about why I”m currently Writing some Poetry. One reason was the Exploring myself thing, the other was I feel it’s a good way to Express Emotions that I’m going through.

This is absolutely wonderful, kind of like a dream. Reading this makes me feel a little cold. It’s wonderful 🙂

Thank you Anna. Writing it definitely was like being in a Dream state. I was hoping that the Cold would reach some people, and it seems to have, which is very cool.
