The Unwinding

Flying is unsettling at first.
There is a certain uncertainty.
Nothing under the feet makes us
uneasy as we climb: we rise as we let go.

An enduring weightlessness,
a nervous tension from within,
holds the droplets together when
the dark water tumbles over the edge of light.

Surreptitiously sliding through
layers of doubt and detail,
we take deliberate care
in falling, whether it be up or down.

We accept the ever shifting
balance between hope and fear.
Our journey is a planned forgetting,
a ritual creating form from fantasy.

As we divorce
ourselves
from our separateness,
we become whole.

Unwinding
is easy as
falling back
into the beauty
of who we are.
