Beneath the Willow Tree (Free verse) by cyan9
Lying down with the arc of my back against the mounds of earth, weaving
my vertibrae over each bump and clump of grass, of dirt, I inked my
index finger and drew a symbol to draw mana from the sky.
Ripples eminated from the connection, and through their vortex I found
myself sucked into a tunnel, sucked towards one bright one light.
As I twisted and turned through concave and convex, I awoke to a haze of
brightness, I awoke and began to stare at the surgeons vest.
Hurtling on a theatre trolley while doctors stitched together my brain,
having been out cold for days, I couldn't remember my name.
As I leant up to ask of my journey, my fate; ripples formed and the
vortex sucked me further in.
I was wrapped up in all the soft blankets the sun could offer, I was
cradled and lulled into a soft warm bed,
I awoke to the light of day, I awoke with light inside my head.
