I have found paradise in the midst of this pandemic.
In the midst of this chaos and atrocity.
I found a sliver of peace amidst the catastrophe from the taunting void that stares back at me.
I sit watching, looking out, from the inside to the great grey beyond.
Out into the world I used to know.
And I say.
I found paradise in the midst of a pandemic.
At the precipice of all that I am and all that I will be.
Satisfied at the greatest awe, the fluidness of reality
Willing myself to take the leap
Into the yawning hole of life
I am unshackled.
I am untainted.
I am at peace.
And though around there is fire
And though I feel its flames trailing my leg
It's sweet warm caress.
I do not feel the pain.
The heat inviting.
I am unshackled.
I am untainted.
I am at peace.
I found paradise in the midst of a pandemic.
I found me.
