Floating in the Light
by R. Noelle
Sometimes I wonder
how I made it before.
I am learning
slowly.
There was a time when life,
merely a series of lies,
patterned me with
angry stripes and
shades of blue
until I no longer knew
myself.
There was a time when I
prayed to a God
in the sky
because I was afraid of
what it meant
not to.
There was a time when my fear of
everything
and everyone
kept me hiding
and running
in solitude and darkness,
day after day.
I know it is still with me.
Enough time has passed now
for my mind to
begin to see.
I wonder what I will see
when I'm old.
With each step I find myself
speaking and living
the truth,
as the light of perspective
shines on everything
I was hiding.
With each day I find
a new way to see
and experience
God.
In my terror, my ecstasy,
in my blood.
With each turn I see
that as soon as
my arms, heart and mind
OPEN,
I am suddenly
connected
dancing
unveiled
expansive
floating
in the light.
I know it is always that close.
