Nothing Holds Me to The Earth

From the series Traces of Being

Nothing holds me to the earth,
My tether often slips,
Up into the air
Away from it all.
I float towards
silent nothingness.

I used to be in love with death,
his jet black shimmering void,
Full to the brim in the peace
of silent nothingness.

But death has lost its charm,
A divine light shines in,
It illuminates my world -
It becomes my world.
And suddenly,
I crave to stay alive,
What a strange new feeling,
I never want to die.
