OPAQUE VISIONS


The clouds of life
As if colored by desires
Unforeseen details hidden
Of abstract effects, sudden knowledge

Fingers of the mind reaching inward
Searching synaptic connections
For truth and love simultaneously
The sky far above beyond thought

Yes the imagination travels to new realms
Fantasies as real as a tear
Quantum fluctuations in memory
Twisting in and out of sight

The tangible lost to a single touch
Understanding never found
Excepting what was, then what is to come
Opaque visions of self
