I can feel when it’s happening,

this surge in my flight of mind,

takes me places leave me unsure,

yet wanting to go on the ride.

There’s a tendency to talk through

moments that allow for humanity

to exist in whichever way we turn.

Seems too easy to forget how again.

Suddenly there we are flying so high,

the difficulty becomes only why,

what drives me along this road so

quickly I can’t keep up with myself.

I was once standing on the shoreline

imagining just how deep the water

was ahead of me, only wondering.

I turned around and found a trail,

took me home to a surreal safety.

How far do we have to ever go,

then we know it’s not in our control.
