far below

April 15, 2018 by Michael Guerin

with feet in the air
my head is swimming
through clouds

soaring above this life
which i struggled to know
and down far below

i see traces of stories
like lines in tall grass
crisscrossing a landscape

stretched out like the past
of all i used to call home
only now miles higher

flying faster than sound
there’s clarity at last
and the trick i think

is not to get stuck
in fog thicker than mud
or crash back to the ground.

poet, dreamer, writer, speaker, intuitive empath. labels never reach the heart of any matter, but they can be a place to start...
