Clear Blue

I fall into the clearest blue and float, refreshed,
Looking up at the emptiest azure.
Nothing between heaven and earth matters, nothing on the surface of this planet.
I could glide away.

Then I hear a sound like a happy crow.  It is my baby, and it tethers me.
I am newly aware of the earth, my home, and all the detail and significance of it.

I peek.
I see her smile and I am glad to be back.
I like it here.
