~Zero Gravity~ Have Brought Back with me The residue of a Taxed & anguished Energy~ Not all things Should travel~ Not all Things should be Carried~ Freedom comes with letting go~ A prying with Water- splitting fossils of tired thinking~ An undulating Persuasion into separation~ Memories stiffen the Soul with excess weight~ I must give myself Back to water~ Bathe in my beautiful Amnesia where I may find My buoyancy~ Truth Wades within The depths Of sea Far From Its own tide~ Far from its own state of Being~ Cradling nothing within Weightless limbs~ Swimming in The stardust of deep~ A liquid Form of sky~ Euphoric As zero gravity ~*~
