Mom and dad left when i was young
Brother and sister left when i sung
Friends left when i had pride
You left when i cried
I left when i died
Lights contort and shatter
In their intricate complexities
Dissolving and revolving
Like souls
Long lost
Left wandering
Weaving and deceiving
As if nothing else could ever matter
Necessities evolving
So embossed with deepest ponderings
Faces come and go
Against the flow
Erupting viciously
Through hues which leave no clues
To what ensues when wavelengths recombine
Traces of the flowing
Disappear within unknowing
For when the patterns re-emerge
Each one is redefined

under a well-
   contented sky of blue lashes
dreamy
I felt so fortunate, so, full
   to be granted the
opportunity
     to behold the beauty of all this
virtue,
so,
I felt a Goddess, had thought of me
reserved,
this place for me, to see,
so,
I bowed down,
and gave thanks,
clapped
earnestly,
cried
reproducing the
roar of thunder.
I cry out
un- ending
Joy.

I wonder if I'll sleep tonight,
But then I laugh as I check reality.
I never sleep at night
Because my mind won't sit still.

I'll lay there and think.
Not that I mind.
I'll think of my day,
What has come and what has yet to pass.
But not that I mind.
I'll think of those I know,
Where I'm going
And what I wish.
And it's not that I mind,
But the only problem is,
Even when my body rests,
My mind continues on it's way.

My mind will dream a vast landscape
With all my treasures held within.
Those things that I hold dearest,
And those things I wish to hold dear,
That simply. Float. Away.
Alas! Just barely out of grasp.

But I really don't mind.
Because when I awake,
I have the pleasure
Of chasing those floating aspirations
With actual plausibility of capturing them.
