Anchor

Anchor

 

What relief

To see the light

The dark can be so convincing

 

Satin swathes of sky

Glow between dusky curls of cloud

I drift upward

Out of time

Into weightlessness

Sheer and floating

Feel the soft breath

Of constant flux

Reminding me that light

Is my anchor

Wind

I went out into the wind today

It felt like freedom

Its edges were soft

Like water

 

It washed me clean

I whistled like a reed

Buffeted amid some happy play of the universe

 

The whole is greater

Than the sum of its parts

I felt that today

With the wind

Streaming around and through me

 

I could lean in or stand still

Feel life rising in surges of wonder

My thin shell aquake with the rattle of joy
