The thundering reverberates through my heart
I can't see it, but I can feel it, hear it, taste it
Unsure of what I'll find, I venture forth, seeking with my mind
I feel the grassy narrows beneath my bare feet, the change to the smooth rock sudden beneath my steps
Growing ever louder, I continue forth towards the shuddering vibrations
Fearless, I know not what I will find, but sightlessly feel my way
The air around me becomes clearer, I breathe deeper and longer
My heart slows, my soul quiets
Realization comes upon me
The forest around me has ceased movement – it waits
Though I cannot see, I know I stand at the top
The water rushes over the rocks beside me, plummeting hundreds of feet to the pool below
Am I ready?
I inhale slowly, and raise my arms
Bending at the knees, I push off the rocks and take flight
Blinding light breaks through the darkness
I no longer see with only my mind
Looking down, the water glistens in the midday sun, and the trees sway gently in the wind
Extending my wings, I soar higher
Above the waterfalls and the forests I had recently ventured through
This is what it's like
Forever free, I join the others
Singing songs that come naturally to our lips, we float effortlessly through the clouds
So clear, so pure, always alone, never lonely
This is what it's like
To Be
An Angel
