All and Nothing

There's something so fragile about this veil

Between what was and what is

 I remember stepping onto the grass and forgetting

The how's and why's of it all

 

A strange comfort in speaking to the great beyond
Surrounds me completely as I grace the plains
I know who I am, yet, it means nothing
No one is who they once were after all

Waves of satin above me
Crushed velvet beneath me
Scents of the ages envelop me
In this place, my memories will no longer follow me

As I take my first steps towards what could be
A path is made by a winged creature I've never known
Nothing is weak any more, nothing at all
A deeper sense of meaning, euphoria is nothing

Rising to compete with the winged one
I know there is much more to see with less effort
Following the airborn course I learn so many new things
What matters now is no longer nothing

    Breathtaking! Truly wonderful! You described something that sounds so beautiful and serene. I hope I can dream about this place next time I sleep.

    Yours in wonder,
