When Souls Fly


At points to perish, this inner rebirth, but everso young; to flourish a swan, this mental greeting, as so humble to cherish; this inner wildness, this flying by thoughts, those vacuums those seconds. We live by choices, to measure by actions, this flurry of metaphors; to die by chance, while born to sing, this method by arts a songbird. I heard a melody, where stomachs growled, this fasting by lights his soul; to picture smiles, this lace of angers, where spirits groan; as ever to live, a kid upon wings, this dream for siblings. I felt your soul, that faint despair—peering into cultures; to witness operations, while feeling foreign, to become that thing we know; but hell to falling, while heaven to falling, this thing concerning our pigments; as pure genetics, this art of grace, this segment between personas: this part of that; this part of this; by chance this other section. We needs for power, this frantic explanation, to crawl by chase our feathers; as winging souls, from gravel to branch, to soaring so high; as flying forever, to empower so many, this chess of politics; that crucial being, fleeing through crises, as to become this force of gravity; to mount an angel, this horse by fame, as traveling this seventh heaven; where ignorance grieves, unaware of folly, this mask pointing fingers; while hell is speaking, where lights are silent, to embark upon wisdom’s gurney: this space of times—as so energetic—this repeated conversation; where love is dim, this human convention, as willing to die so often. I’ve called a spirit, this series of names, as to enter your heart’s sanctum: this earth of wares; this country of flying; this meeting of cherubs; to see by visions, this inner darkness, as to convert a negative thought: this man of ills; this daughter of hopes; this mother yearning for image; to harness breath, this vehicle of silence, as borne to some sort of genius. I cry no more, as to cry forever, while wounded unto healing; this deep paradox, as pure resilience, confronted with such ugliness: this pier of minds; this cringing of souls; this trek through darkness for lights; to have your arm, reaching through chants, as meditating upon, Aum; this engineering, sectioned within, this cosmic armoire.
