A Spirit

When I lay down to reflect, I hang up my hang-ups and time is out of mind, as my soul and 
my spirit climb to the stratospheres. 


I mentally hideaway and I am visibly incognito. I still here and feel the earth bear a metal 
beat of chemical residue, as the sounds ricochet through my mind.


On this maiden voyage I try to unravel the sounds of the world, and interpret the silence of 
bubbles floating in my mind. 


In my kingdom of peace, I build a fortress, surrounding the wild life in my visions.


I metamorphosis into a chameleon then a butterfly, my soul glows like a sun torch burning 
brightly in an azure sky.

What am I?
