Faye Gibson Poet Verse

Untethered

limitless  
endless rounds repeating
banquet of unmeasured sustenance  

liquid light  
released into coolness  
assuaging my soul's brown thirstiness 

eyes open  
unguarded, unafraid  
sinking in spangled star reflections 

color arc
rushing joyful cascade  
letting go, untethered forever
