Sky Diving

Gathering odd bits and scattered pieces I lay on silken sheets of pristine white, a soft, lavender scent, aired, releases ... daily sorrows and fears of painful night. Rising on an astral cord, I hover all smiling at my earthly nascent self, wandering, wondering, fractals a glow we light beings uncover a unifying geometry ourselves. Do come, come and join our playful tableau. Dark interiors pale, as outside I rise peeking but briefly within where I lay and I nod to self, then up to the sky with spirit animals along to play. The wolves howl with joy, the owls soar high we stitch herringbone patterns gray on blue as we loft like birds above forest tall giving bedside good byes. High above the earth, we have quite a view as with rainbows of lights we're enthralled. From space earth's sphere seems an implausible dream continents and oceans blue, brown and white as refreshed we gleam, streaming home on beams fired solar flares of brilliant delight. Down, down, we go to just outside the pane and giggling, I peek through the window shade myself wound in, on umbilical thin, whole without a complaint. Four guardians, I hug and thank for their aide and slip beneath the silk sheets, all tucked in.
