BEYOND THE NOTHING by Tela Louise

After the Shame 
despair 
the why 
the where 
wondering in the dark 
cast yours eyes upon a shooting star  
shifting 
mountains looming 
slipping on the moss covered river rocks 
Cold water flowing across my feet 
Birds chirping 
a long blade of grass hanging out of my mouth 
smells of oceans near 
daylight flickers between the trees 
Butterflies dancing in the meadow 
heart as light as a feather now 
Walking beyond the nothing...
