With my mind
I touched infinity
Felt the satisfying curling
Up and through me as smoke curls
And tendrils of vines curl
Around their desired supports
Pulling them close
I touched infinity and felt
The deep breath of relief
Two up and one long ride down
As babies breathe when they finally
Let go and slide into sleep
Felt myself flow into the wide reaches of thought
Unlimited, uncharted—the excitement and delight
Of exploration, as all dimensions
Open out at once
The weightlessness
Of how I travel there
A promise:
You can return here
Anytime.
With my mind
I touched infinity
A place I’ve been before
(Magical dreams)
But didn’t know
Was right here.
