Parallel Universe Dance
by Alison McKenzieI can see it all so clearly now,
The breathing comes easy.
The heart is slowed to a reasonable rate,
Though I can barely feel it in my chest.
There is a disassociative quality about
The way the sunlight is streaming in,
Warming my skin in a whisper,
Touching my soul feather-light.
Walking the edge of dehydration,
I float just inside awareness,
Barely touching this reality,
But appreciating every nuance.
Like a man too full of alcohol,
I feel love to the very brim;
Awestruck by the enormity of it all,
The way my arms stretch round it all the way.
Surrounded by my favorite music,
Singing a blend of such crystal clarity,
Breaking the vibratory barriers between the realms -
I dance a parallel universe.
