Commonwealth Essay
In introspect,
beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

welcoming me back,
only the blue,
forever the blue.

rain falling
the sky maiden's tears,
are they for me?

each step towards the blue,
chains broken,
so light.

the coolness around my ankles,
and then encasing legs completely,
and then my chest in a lover's embrace.

Blue-indigo-black, glowing moving flowing
the clear that swallows you whole,
possessing you completely.

the sea carries lifts supports me,
the tranquil waters flow around me,
inside me.

God gave me my set of wings early,
now,
freedom's so close,

I can feel it.
