Literary (Submission): You Will

Unfold.
Loose grasp of anything you hold
Lay yourself on the dry meadows
Beside a faintly greening tree
Just below orange skies
Take a breath,
Close your eyes

Close your eyes
Take a leap,
Jump into a furrow so steep
Let all else fade and abandon your mind
Lay yourself in an endless bliss
Lose thought of the fall upon reaching the ground
Unbound.

You won’t.
You shall not hit the ground with a forceful thud
Nor will you drown in a shaft of sinking pools,
Only land as light as thin air
And continue to glide through the gleaming abyss
Holding out arms
You shall fly free

You shall fly free
Holding nothing but spirit
And continue to soar in a world of your own
For only it is the upright reality that can be felt
By turning upside-down
Or the beam of light that can only be shined
In the vastness of dark,
You shall only see the rest of the world
When you close your eyes
You will.
