HOMOGENOUS FANTASY


      Soft illuminations and dreams

      Brought forth through light and colors

      A breeze lifting with coolness into the night

      Ghostly wanderings slipping close to the mind


      Just a slight variation in time

      The world of dimensions quivering

      On the verge of understanding

      With each step forward, then sliding away


      Homogenous reality split into realms of fantasy

      Black and white, truth and falsehood

      Melting together to elude

      Running together, merging in fluttering excitement


      The butterfly singing of life so short

      With its freedom in a gathering wind

      Look to the west and find colors of night beginning

      The hues of dreams not yet come


      A crescent moon to guide the way

      The journey long and tiresome

      Still it must be taken in this life and the next

      Insight and trepidation, contradictions of thought and action


      Where other have traveled more will follow

      A path leading the blind into darkness

      Those who venture from the norm

      Into discovery and adventure, will be blessed with knowledge
