Cleopatra

Eyes softly close
Then open again to a soft, warm light
Before me lies a Bridge made of Rainbows
The Rainbow light softly sways across the planks, bringing the Bridge to life
I step onto the first plank and white light ripples out from my paw
The light surges up my right arm and over my right shoulder
A wing softly unfolds pulling my right half up from the ground before gently letting my back down
All four paws land on the bridge and my body is filled with light
My left wing springs out, but I’m ready for it this time
My heart soars with glee as I lift into the air again
This time when my paws land, light shoots up all four legs
My body is filled with healing white energy
My lungs fill with clean, crisp air
Fog lifts from my mind as scales fall away from my eyes
On the other side of the Bridge, a landscape comes into view
Before me lies a grassy meadow
The grass shimmers emerald green
Swaying purple flowers in the warm summer breeze
The night sky, still bright with stars, gives way to an orange glow
A pink sunrise begins to glow in the East
With each step I take forward, I grow
The muscles in my body lengthen and expand
White light ripples across my body
My back legs straighten and stand tall
I step into my true form: I am a lioness
I ROAR
Sound vibrates out from my throat
Fireworks burst in the sky above
I begin to run
Like a shooting star, I burst across the Bridge
When I reach the end, I jump into the sky
Wings stretched high, I soar into a spiral
At the top, I fold the wings into my back and relax
I drift softly down as a feather
In the distance I hear the rustle of grass
White lightning shoots out of the shadows, pinning me to the ground
Eyes closed from the impact, I open them to find a friend staring back at me
Wide, blue eyes stare out from the face of a White Lion
Reunited, we laugh and embrace one another with warmth
I look back once more, to the Rainbow Bridge
My heart is filled with gratitude and love
Turning to join Behati, we launch into the air
Leaping over the meadows of green grass
The morning sun of a new day
