-SEDONA

         
I visited this vortex in my mind        
with help from an old friend        
water, present, and sky were        
my place to find new beginnings        
         
I swam the waters to be cleaned          
brothers and sisters welcomed        
me, bathed me, and held my hand        
I was never scared as I shivered        
and cried, what a joy to be home        
         
Then there was the present where        
I walked for awhile kicking the        
stones and dust from bed and mind        
it was time for rebirth, for light        
so I took to the sky        
         
It was black and warm as my body        
illuminated; I shrank with each      
new moment, until I was only a pinpoint      
of pure light, ready to start my journey      
into dusk barefoot, and free...
