i remember how my mother would hold me.
i would look up at her sometimes and see her weep.

i understand now what was happening.
love so strong a force
it broke the cage,

and she disappeared from everything
for a blessed
moment.

all actions have evolved
from the taste of flight;
the hope of freedom
moves our cells
and limbs.

unable to live on the earth, Mira ventured out alone in the sky,
i write of that journey
of becoming as
free as
God.

don't forget love;
it will bring all the madness you need
to unfurl yourself across
the universe.
