Changing the medium,
moving through some
new atmosphere.
Testing the ground,
take a step
in a new gravity.
Feeling it pull you down,
not what it was,
but still no danger
of floating away.
The nightmare flight
replays every evening.
Impossible to suppress
all of the feelings
that come
when you’re not held down.
Crushed under
a beautiful
blue sky.
Sweating out
the terror
from inside.
Letting go
of what you
kept in mind
for so long;
new medium,
new song,
new light.
It’s as easy
as going from the
water to the earth
and from the earth to the air.
A cycle of death
and rebirth.
You’re luminescent, now.
Achieved a higher calling,
immersed yourself around.
Once new,
now you
are a creature of it.
This new,
imbued,
beautiful experience.
Now it is
what you are.
When will you
reach the stars?
