My dreams's hand is not far away now
she rises:
a phoenix from the molten spray of demensions
the waking life a forgotten snapshot
burning in an anthology of lies
You can't guide me down to earth
my strings have floated away in the blue
sweet detachment brings me to mindlessness
as the universe forever was, forever will remain
I looked in every direction in a single glance, harnasing the basic power of relativity
I saw god wading the swirling pools of infinity
As our entities merge:
all life rewinds in division
finally melting into the first bacterium of life
then finally melting away into darkness
All things are one on either side of infinity
the seed, the corpse
I saw god split in two, the beings join hands:
a life of balance is a life with constant complementing forces
keeping infinity in check
keeping god's physical presence at bay
Lava flows together beneath the phoenix,
bringing abstract and physical planes crashing as one
the alien with the bulbous white eyes nurses her child within the crater, it remains as indifferent as the fawn drinking fertalizer poisoned water from the crystal lake
Suddenly the unknown plane flashes into action
the lava parts
all is the way it was, forever will not remain;
in understanding the self defeating law
'-All Is In Vain.'
Beautyful
Nice poem spoonman! It uses nice words and nice things in it, even though the whole thing is in vain. I love some of the language you have used. Well done.
