A sailboat's dream is to dream big. |
An earth angel with cement wings and heavy feet
cries out far and deep inside for help
Her very core
now dry and alien
She is drifting lost with an ill fated humanity.
A washed up baby sea turtle appears center screen
Its upside down hoping, praying, to be turned right side up
But its sweet eyes are blinded by a blazing sun and the hard shell is back
breaking madness
The turtle succumbs to a seagull crunching her spirit in its sharp razor locked
beak
With no escape.
Where is the survival factor?
Am I just another worn briefcase carried by a busy businessman
grim faced with sweaty palms
Stuck in a routine
hoping to be misplaced
left in a taxi bound for paradise and fresh air
When do I awaken? After I throw up mediocrity and wasteful habits?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Tonight I simply ask for a dream
and the wish is granted
I am on a spiritual sailboat
sailing higher than heaven
The main sail detaches from the mast
It turns fluid like a magic carpet
A silent voice calls me to ride it
I take off on this flimsy but incredibly strong sail
I am surfing it in mid air
With the current
in the current
full of current
its magical
It's at a speed that puts you in touch with your own truth
It stops time and is faster and more expanded than space
By far its the greatest ride
You have nothing to hold onto
Yet whats holds you is surrender
You are speed, balance and grace
Not like an amusement park ride that is just amusing
but an actual soul travel experience that is pure perception
Freedom is the real you
just dying for that passionate alignment with that Godlike invisible force
That gives you rebirth to your true self
The wind is now you
and it told you to buy a sailboat.
Three days later
This concrete Angel is a wild and wet flowing
mermaid Eagle
Part water
All heart
Sailing in an Ocean of bliss
Swimming in the here and now
Captain of her own sailboat
Master of her dreams
Welcoming all cosmic sea gypsies aboard
