Stretch and spread arms wide
Float consciousness
to mysterious dimensions
Limitless travel
in emptying out
Unwrap time
Discard packaging
Take first breath
of illuminating atoms
containing life's signature
its bibliography
Read the signals
Perceive symbols
Signposts everywhere
pointing to release
Emerge from individual cocoon
Explode energy from cells
Be that shooting star!

'Unwrap time, Discard packaging' - intriguing. We have a lot of different types of 'packaging'.
