Once freed, my silken thoughts will skyward soar

In unabandoned earthly flight

Unleashed, unfettered flow through liminal lands

Past brightest day and blackest night

And ghostly stroll through susurrus trees

Unshackled, rapt in sunshine-kissed rejoice

Then scale the hills' vertiginous heights

And with my essence find a deafening voice

 Or fast set sail on life's great argosy 

In joyous musings, birthed so sleek

And view our galaxy and universe with newer eyes

Then slumber in its vast unique

John Regan, 2025.
