Finding Atlantis (2)

Traveling in her mind all the time
she and your host started travelling

in the real world as well,
looking for what was outside the
tiny realities of their childhoods

an institute
supposed to help you find
At some stage she began visiting
the best way of traveling in your own mind
It was of no help to her
all the trails the institute had to offer
were highly imaginable...
In one way however, it may have helped her:
to recognize all the directions
she should not go...
everywhere, in everything she does,
there is this longing
to leave...
to get outside...
to vanish...
to break away...
For years
All of a sudden she breaks down.
In one of her more lucid moments she says:
“I see myself dwelling along the streets for ever...
just a black shadow...”
And still, in the midst of sheer nothingness and doubt,
something is holding on
way beyond every imaginable trail
to escape the story telling
easy to catch
images...
it pours itself out into
the light
bright, effortless,
boundless
It is as if she had to go
through the tiniest of holes
in the dark
to finally find
the omnipresent light
already awaiting her
from early childhood onwards...
With no wings
to spread
her flight
becomes
swifter
more focused
sharper
more sensitive
more daring
than it had ever been
And so she glides
through the thinnest of airs
outside any radar
detached from any GPS
and finds the single one trail
among a billion others
that leads her
to the reds
yellows
greens
and blues
of...
