Transcendent

Falling into myself,
Stripped and unaware
Awakened,
Too late.
Falling toward a looming,
Unknown bottom.
Struggling to break the fall,
To no avail.
Then.
Shedding ego,
Falling slows.
Revealing me
Transcendent.
I cease to struggle,
Unencumbered the bottom is no longer.
The fall becomes the journey.
