I touched the sky last night.
I lifted my human hand into the night,
and felt it's timeless presence seep into my soul.
I am forever changed by the infusion of colours,
and the weightless mist that lifted me high,
above the troubles and torments
that had me cemented to my mortal home.
I became one with the stars.
Broken down and apart,
by the pull of the moon.
Dispersed among the clouds,
and baptized by their tears.
I am a child of the Earth.
Sister to wind and fire,
lover to rain.
and mother to all things.
This is my domain now,
my world..
My peace depends on my strength,
my hope,
my love,
my ability to dream.
And I am limited only,

by the confines of the universe,
that embrace my heart.
