Untethered
Untethered to this earth, I am a bird.
I’m winging and I’m singing in the sky.
How glorious this feels, but I’m not heard!
I wish for all to know my joy. I fly
back to the nest upon the blossomed tree,
where blissfully I let my voice resound.
There are so many things that I could be!
By merely thinking it, I now am found
in water, and a dolphin I’ve become!
With glee, I’m moving free. Bright flashes are
sea creatures drifting past me. I succumb
to pure enchantment. Then I see a star!
Out from the sea in my OWN skin I lift
as up… up…. toward night’s first bright star I drift.
