The Polarized Explorer

My burdens lift me up
Like boosters and propel my
Mind to the outer-space
Of inner-feelings,
And there
Fall away; consumed
In the atmosphere of
Distress and the charred
Fragments that remain
Are drowned in an
Ocean of discarded concerns;
Liberty obtained,
I soar through
The expanse of experience
Far from
Forgotten despairs,
Arriving at new
Alien adversities;
Once thoroughly explored,
Become the burdens
To boost me
Once more at the
Speed of concept to
Unknown galaxies of
Emotional encounters.
