Dimensions

My heart and soul
tire me out,
always frolicking
away and about,

relentless in their
prodding and searching,
no toe-dips,
just all-in swan-diving

into every unknown,
exploring, testing, challenging
the boundaries
of this world,

restless to breach
every deterrence
placed by societal rules
and norms…

So much fear
in potential soulmates
with whom to travel
these magical non-roads.

Water Bridges

I prefer reflections,

let my imagination spin

and transfer me to places

no one’s ever been–

down rabbit holes,

across water bridges,

tour fairy houses,

solve impish riddles,

too much to explore,

an acre…a world,

and I the only trusted guest,

the only human

at the council.

Upward Strokes

Upward strokes

of cloud-wisps,

a contrail

left as an ephemeral gift,

fading and floating away

but calling attention,

flaunting evidence

of launched heart-wishes,

sky wishies

taking flight,

one dreamer

setting out to find

what it desperately desires,

or perhaps nothing more

than having the foolish courage

to transcend boundaries and

explore.

The upward strokes

brushed upon the canvas

give hope,

for there are no edges,

no frame,

no conclusion,

where they reach,

unknown,

and I, too,

want to go…
