Expansion,

unfolding out into a new form.

Wider.

Droplets tapping along,

rolling down my fabric.

Shielding space beneath me,

keeping

it

dry.

More and more droplets

drizzling from above.

Heavily washing away everything from before.

Then,

a gush of air taking me upwards,

out of grasp of one’s hands,

into the clouded sky.

Murky and somber.

Drifting off

to another realm.

I think of my destination

lying ahead of me,

waiting for my approach.

I hope to be picked up

in another’s hands,

where I cannot forget

my reason,

my worth.

When I finally reach

The place of my journey’s end,

I notice a shadow

looming over me.

Reaching out for me.

The next thing I feel is

expansion.
