Into The After Of My Life Poem by Linda Marie Van Tassell

I dream I fall into oblivion
in a shower of wings, blooms, and ashes,
floating in depths of blue meridian
blue as the inkwells beneath my lashes.
I am weightless in a glittering swirl
of visions in time that mark the ages
and let loose the hand of that little girl
who wrapped herself in handwritten pages.
I surrender to a different sky.
My heart is bursting into beams of light
and shatters each myth, each untruth, and lie
until my spine is uplifted in flight.
I sever the cords of conflict and strife
stepping into the after of my life.
