I AM WHOLE


I step the edge
Blue sky above me

Translucent Emerald below me
Of Glass
To MY emerald eye.

The spring feels light,
The power intense!
I pause …
I poise … … … …

Aloneness
!
At one with my Maker

Power surges
within me
Up and through me
Spirit and spirit doing that
which tiny minds refuse
and kill, so to silence

But they will NOT silence me!

The surge transmits the board
Surge transmutes to ricochet
Right heel feeling the contour of Left Shin
Up, Down, Up … Down
Striking the palms of balanced feet
Pulsating through and upward

The edge, by toes alone
The spring
The second spring
Right palm holding
left palm sliding the shin



AND RELEASE … RELEASE … RELEASE

Up, Up, Over, Right, left arm embracing right breast

Again Over, Left, right arm embracing left breast

I fly as the Swallow

Swifts eye me in my descent

Playing as we each share this rarified air


Leap

Trust

Freedom

Swallow

FREEDOM

I AM

I Am a Man

I Love Men

I Am a Woman

I Love Women

I Am a Transgender

I Love my Gender

We love our Gender

I Am I am Bi

I Love Both

We Are Whole


And as I break the water

and descend to depths

far beyond the minds of most

The Spirit conjoins my spirit


And Two Words Whisper

on the Air

and stay with me

as I follow the currents


I AM

Ken Webb is a writer and proofreader. His website, kennwebb.com, showcases his work as a writer, blogger and podcaster, resting on his successive careers as a police officer, progressing to a junior lawyer in succession and trusts as a Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, a retired officer with the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve, and latterly, for three years, the owner and editor of two lifestyle magazines in Liverpool.

He also just handed over a successful two year chairmanship in Gloucestershire with Cheltenham Regency Probus.
