Flying Embers

I imagine you
Skipping across the cosmos
Comet tail glittering in your wake,
Free and laughing with amazement,
Curiosity pulling you
Into the next adventure
The ordinary now far behind you.
So boldly you stepped away
The air left the room,
The light and sense
Leaving with you,
Searching the stars and
Seeing how far Beyond
Might stretch.
Unfolding like a wing, or seed,
Or newborn,
Spirit bounding fleetly
Coursing with energy no longer contained.
