Freefalling
bound to let it all fall away
freedom to become bound
where falling not from airy heights
becomes the act of a wisp of cloud
ribboning at the edge of life
riding spectral rainbow’s spiral galaxy fringe
home
Homeward bound
leaping fearless skyward surfer
swirling blue that bleeds into a seamless sky
deep merciful midnight blue
circumambulating an impossible whirling
casting a circle
only to kiss
twilight’s cool sweet breath
having swept over rough terrain
meandered through unlikely course-ways
winding around channels
to retire in the innermost chamber
wind carries breath and rests
calling for the soft cave,
adamantine sky-clad stillness
