Chasing the moonlight
ready for flight
Feeling everything and nothing in one beat
My body gliding away, time slipping in and out like sleep
My mind racing off into another dimension and lagging behind
Sniffing and scratching at everything in sight
A place here there and nowhere
Existing as the fleeting air - present yet not seen
Clouds cover up the day's worries
Yet tuck away clarity
Resolving and creating a misty blanket of doubt
Where beneath lie beaming stars
of empty potential.
The night sky opens and closes like my mind
A window of a new vision opens with every breathing breeze
The creeping chill is numb to numbing me
A song plays behind and next to me, filling my ears with confusion
turning back time
blinding me with a blanket of shivering sight
I sit without cover from what's covering my mind
no attachment to my vessel
distant touches tingle me, like far away breeze tickles
my being hanging above me, in the sky
with thoughts hanging in the blanket
All these thoughts I’m catching and feeling in both hands
There’s a constant drilling sound
filling a void
I hear everything all at once but not at all
like being underwater with someone shouting from above
The crickets are bumping around my ears
I can’t write this at the pace of my sprinting mind
my pen is grazing my hand to cover the lines
There’s an angry man rushing through my mind’s cabinets
throwing around papers with haste
A polluted forest hiding affection
What would my being be like without my mind?
A bobbing limp of air with a lifted heart
A heavy stomach with new weight
Giggling eyes, loose of etiquette
Suspended air
Floating in caramel with ’Sun King’ blurring in the background
Is this the real you?
The one you’re not ready to become or the one you store away?
