My God (excerpt)

And I pondered through the valley in the death dance below, and thought, Here comes the wilderness 'just over that rim'. I saw the rays rising upward and took in every breath in every step as long as I was in there, so help me God, coming closer every second. It was pink and orange and yellow and deep sea blue. How soft melancholy can be when your body is finally at ease. I'll always remember this place of being, because it was here I lost and found myself again...and again.
