I hear the sound of a train roaring
as if it were rushing by on a cold winter night
wind driving my hair back... pulling the skin of my face taut
how can wind be so deafening
My body feels empty... and weightless...
is this how a leaf feels riding on a storm's path
yet...i feel the pull... in the core of my being
dragging me, as a child drags a struggling puppy
My mind struggles to make sense of where I am
time is irrelevant and out of place
I know not whether a minute has passed...
or, if I have played every scene of my life over and over
to keep my eyes closed... is to know peace
so I open my eyes...
Mother Earth lies before me, calling on her child
and...I rush to her in open arms praying for comfort
I'm falling....and the beauty I view... blinds me
I fear...and yet, my heart brims in happiness
my mind freezes in time
I'm falling
