Let it unfurl

A life squeezed out this,

Translucent, whispering on the breeze

Spiralling about in whims and eddies

Drifting, shyly aimless, toe

Dragging across the dust in great

Circles, loops, wavering arcs.

Let it unfurl. Let the light

Through to shine bright and illume

The great chart of events that

Crease their way through, these

Veined tributaries and lagoons that

Course across and weep down.

Gossamer thing, you watch the

Wind. Let it pull you forward and

Skyward. To the heavens and skeeting

Across the plains. A blazing trail

Streaking over water, ballooning high

Across the mountains.

Caught by forces far greater than yourself

Far greater and wilder and sensual and true

Let it unfurl, your beaten out old soul,

And let it swing you wide into the not yet real
