Let Mind Breathe

The mind is a high flyer.
An altitude of any measure
allows it to breathe clearer.
The mind breathes you.

Close out this world
follow the song-cycles
of your land-locked
wind-blown lungs.

Let that singing soar,
let go of all tethers
ride that lighter than air wind
up, up, up.

Hold on to nothing
gravity has no asway upon you,
you can rise forever
dance over any gleaming universe.

Enter that 'cloud of unknowing'
that birthed you; deliver yourself
from all dust of thought

until joy and laugher
boosts you
into that radiant immensity
of inner space, there you arise
as a star that knows no roof, ceiling
nor end.
