Without legs to walk
I have felt rhythm in my hands
A colorful prism of sound emerging
From keys of black and white
Rhythm
Without feet to dance
I have felt rhythm in my voice
Melodies and words
Like chaienes and tourjettes
Turning in counted time
Without movement or stance
I have felt rhythm in my mind
Mind
Like a funnel made of clouds
Wide wide wide
Mind that stretches up through the funnel
Breaking through gravity and the atmosphere
Beyond the moon
Mars
And Neptune
And then a jump to light speed
I see the Milky Way
From the outside
It’s long arms slowly swirling
And I float on
Hovering in emptiness
Surrounded by infinite clusters of light
A rhythmic jolt
I am immediately pulled back from outer space
And it all comes rushing back with me
Yes, the galaxies, stars, planets, sun and moon
And are all inside me now
Pulled into the top of my head
Down, down, down
Into my heart
I feel their pulse in my biorhythm
In my breath
A pause
A long, timeless moment of gratitude
Emptying into
Stillness
