Limbo

Spider web necklace with dew from fog.

Limbo

7/9/11

Defined as place between extremes

referring to heaven and hell,

or in 'attraction, manifestation' terminology

I imagine past and future

doing 'time' in present moment

that feels like sticky web

even when tackling little details

composing achievement on long list

of 'to do's' for completion,

it's being a ghostly shadow

walking in 'what was before'

as new world is slowly

unfolding with me in middle,

a snake sloughing off skin

while 'transformative self' underneath develops

not knowing who I'll be,

except for amazed, like dragonfly

going from water to air

in seeming uncontrollable dangerous process

where many potentialities could sabotage,

yet, somehow miraculous invention succeeds

uplifting 'life' on iridescent wings

becoming fantastic, as if always

destined to perform this alchemy,

no different than butterfly chrysalis

patiently waiting emergence from limbo.
