As night descends
Upon the light,
Our cages slumber
And prisoners reduce
In number.
Fear belated.
Calm ecstasy
Flies free,
Happiness,
Just a wish away.
Space,
The prisoner’s only trail,
Freedom.
Time no longer
The strings
That bind.
To soar
Through emptiness,
Eternity.
The only factor.
Imagination.
The limit.
A being
Awakened.
No longer blinded
By the drives
Of embodiment,
The soils
That pains
Grow from.
Just a self;
A personality.
No condition
Of humanity.
Myself with myself,
Floating
In unreality;
Alone.
Now
I’m losing
The border between
Space and time;
A lost child
In the storm.
Where unity
And so much more
Is the favored factor.
Here all
Organic life exists,
And I just am.
Loneliness
Becomes my only
Cleanliness.
My lost child screams
By fear are found.
Sniffing me out,
A hound cloaked in drear.
Ecstasy stolen.
Happiness
Becomes a bleak at best
Probability.
I sink my only differential
Into darkness,
Where time’s spiders spin
Their binding strings.
Imagination
No longer the limit.
Instead
The constraints.
Locked
Back in my cage.
Fear has thrown
The key away,
And turned my trail
To the skittering dark.
Where light
Destroys
The night.
