treasure of the moment

transitioning from one dimension to the next

feels like a small rickety plane is preparing for landing

in a pristine desert paradise

and neither reality fully exists

the rickety plane or the desert paradise

i am in between everything

i’m high in the sky, coming down for a landing

a bit shaky in a plane that has made it this far

the clear paradise is all around me

but i am still in the plane

and it has not landed yet

it could still crash and kill me

but it appears to be i’m landing safely

the sensation of picking up speed as the

ground grows larger beneath me

resembles piano concertos

kind of feels like dying

i’m  beginning to lean into it

make sure to drink water today

make sure to drink water today
and smile at your face in the mirror


make sure to stop and listen to your body if it needs it


make sure to soften your eyes
even when enemies pass by


make sure to stretch your thoughts
to things you think not
just in case
things get boring


work those fingers and use those toes


maybe even sew your own clothes


today is a great day to compose


anything
