LSD Nightmare
Nathan Tipple Feb 2016
You're my LSD Nightmare
You, the truth, the light, the way
You're my LSD Nightmare
The man who made the blotter
Did not realize the gate he had opened
And when I went through it
I wondered where I had gone
You, my LSD Nightmare
I love you, I love you, I lived in you
I am your eyes and I see your face
You, beautiful life, I confide in you
I wandered towards you and I saw in your eyes
I saw the sadness of thousands of years
I saw the sorrow of all the lost children
I wished I could tell you, but you were forgotten
When I finally found you, we lost our listlessness
We tumbled through the circles of time,
And found it all back where I'd left you
I love you, I loved you, I lived in you
And when I return, I'll tell you what I saw
don't do acid unless you're ready to see what you cannot see

patience
Nathan Tipple Sep 2015
sitting in the darkness, waiting for some kind of beautiful light from above to come and rescue me.  trying to be protected from despair,. but then it engulfs me.  seeing all of the beauty so clearly.  seeing the potential inside me.  trying not to say, "come save me."  trying to be strong.  trying to hold onto the glimmers of the sun which had shone through that darkened window.  wanting what is love.  wanting to bask in the warmth of its embrace.  wanting all fear to dissipate, only to be replaced by the most radiant passion, wanting to feel it all the way down into the deepest marrow inside my bones.  wanting to apologize to everyone i've ever wronged.  wanting to look them in the eyes and say "i'm sorry," and then enter into their world - understand them deeply and truly, wanting to have all of the past just not matter anymore and transcend this dream/nightmare.  wanting it all, and coming up empty.  "come save me."  you promised you wouldn't say that, you know, you promised but here it comes again, soft and cold like the snow, reminding you of your limitations.  is it you or is it i?  it has to have a name, it doesn't have to be blame, it can just be one.  be patient.  your new life has begun.  be patient, your new love has arrived.  please - just be patient.
understanding something that no one else does.

Transformation
Nathan Tipple Jan 2015
In my fiery death, the world began to open. I sensed a pulling that I had never felt before, and in a beautiful moment of singularity, everything which had been darkness before was transformed into light within me.

During this time, I reflected on the deep state of misery which had consumed me before.  All the delusions, doubts, and despair which felt as though they would be with me eternally were now gone, and the Earth appeared bright and full of form.  There was no longer any division between the comfort of my house and the World; I could roam the landscape as a playful explorer, just as I had done in childhood memories which felt strangely distant from me.  Now the World was a vast, uncharted landscape and I was the master of its Destiny.

Somewhere along the way, my love for life had disappeared, and the landscape became as grey and frozen as the Arctic Tundra.  Everything around me faded away, I became dizzy, and then only I remained.  I was lost in my thoughts.  Lost in the circles.

It was then that I was able to reflect on injustice and human suffering.  I could see a world free of Judgement and innocence.  Gazing outside of myself through these eyes, curiosity had a purpose which I could not have understood as a Child.  I felt a deep connection to the Universe.  Rainbows of colours passed through my line of vision.  I caught sight of an Orange soul, begging to be touched.  Violets, Greens, Reds, and Blues all passed through me like phantoms.


In this moment, I was struck by a feeling that I was not meant to be here, somehow.  There was something impossible, yet beautiful, about my presence on the Earth.  And yet I was alive.  In this same singular instance, a new realization dawned upon me.

By gazing out at Life through this Lens, I could find purpose.

— The End —
