Molecules spacing out
Wider, longer, deeper --
into air
light and sound go through me
I am invisible
yet I am here
can you hear me
like the wind
that can't be seen
only it's effects
the rustle of grass
leaves dancing in trees

inside me
a tsunami crashing
white rabbits
frolicking on the foam
nothing is solid


space wider, longer, deeper
I, no longer
a woman, a human
just space spacious space
beyond sky
spacing out...

    What a beautiful poem. I particularly love these lines:

    inside me
    a tsunami crashing
    white rabbits
    frolicking on the foam
    nothing is solid
