what is this?
I can’t quite name it
but I’m climbing this ladder
up into the sky
climbing without a net
always
I know
there is always risk
is there such a thing
as getting there
in the end?
I have a trajectory
that arcs
beyond the brackets
of my life
I make no claims
to knowing where
I am headed
or if I am headed
anywhere
at all
what can I believe?
only in momentum
only in flux
that I will flow
as waves
for as long as I exist
heart in the instant
body in the sky
mind never-minding
all of me
blooming and fading
like storm clouds
or misty vapors
on bright blue days

I loved the emotion of floating your words brought. The feeling of limitless space, left and complemented by up and down.
This freedom from chains, gravity a faint memory and the updrafts granting you another moment of clarity looking down in the big picture of life.
Thanks for letting thoughts fly.
