Completely Bonkers

I was living under the sky called Dreams
Until forced by the stings of Humanity
I succumbed to build a roof called Reality
Overhead, with pillars of Evolution

Shocked by the troubles of Civilization
I built the walls of Security
And founded the home of my Life
Till it was trespassed by Society

Then, fed up with demands of Family
In constant pursuit of Money
That seemed to lure and lead to Mockery
I went in circles in this worldly Merry-go-round.

The full circle, and here I was, in Insanity
Against the tide of inner Psychology
There again I clambered into Illusion
And here was my second world of Wiser Dreams.

Alone in Magic


A river silent in all that moonlight
On a starry silvery though silent night
Made me, a wanderer, stop
And take in all that I could in a breath

Alone, among all that magic
I hoped nothing will come my way
For I had to stay up there
Till I could, if ever, have enough of that sight

Tragic stories it told me...
As wave after wave lashed the bank, silent
I wondered what kind of fury was contained within....
And stood, not just an observer, but a companion to its struggle

Wondering... the froth around on the pebbles
Formed distinctive patterns
That spoke eternal old stories...
I dared not call them ancient

I took it all in, the tales of yore...
More like, stories I could never speak out again
Somehow, without words filling the night space
The skies above and the earth below seemed strange

A stranger I was, not to them now
But to time... the time in the present
Before it all compressed into a moment
And I stood up, no more needed there

Maybe it was that special moment in eternity
A moment where nature voices its grief
And a moment where we become one with all
And all within the Everything

And away gurgled the river
To its destination, miles beyond
And I walked, strange steps, led by a stranger mind...
With a heart that knew.... and a mind that cared
