Hypnotise me
Make the source of
my anxiety revealed in your liveliness
Teleport me to a point where
I don’t have any choice
but the right one
Hum me sweet melodies
Lull me and merge me into an endless consciousness
Featherless, formless, I fall…
Eyes open I am shaken into my surroundings
Dreams had taken me to a place
where every decision I took
was a perfection of paint strokes
But now awakened to all five senses
I see an unfinished book gathering dust
The door thuds, holding the bedside gun in silent fear,
The scent of smoke lingers, a world in itself,
All the senses taste war, the end is near
My parallel lives enhance my understanding
The dreams are an escape
The quest for the source, a phantom
Beauty forms my temporary exile
My environment the only truth denied
The truth seems like a devil in his carriage
outside all the smoke and carnage
waiting to carry me for my last ride
The Great Beyond, a realm devoid of fear,
With the hope of transcending lifetimes, I confide
It carries all of light from all eternity
Illusion is its form that seduces
So I sit
in the dark wooden carriage to embark on
the end of this journey where
I failed to live in the light
The umbilical cord is cut from the golden womb
The universe inside a universe, endless vistas to roam
An alternate reality with an infinite worldview
Born again, I open my eyes
I see the smile on my mother’s face
I hear my cry for help to be reunited with the source
I hold her finger the compass of my destiny
I smell the end of desire which is another beginning
A fulfilled life, reborn, destiny we meet again
