in my dream i woke up in a lush green grove
and in the center of the grove there was a pool of crystal
that reflected all the light like a polished mirror.
i walked up to the pool and when i gazed in,
the crystal went black as if all the light had been ****** out of it.
in an instant i saw the world
i saw the past, the present, and the future,
the rise and fall of kingdoms and empires
i saw life through the eyes of an ant, a hawk, a star, and man.
i saw war, peace, love, hate and the entire spectrum of human emotion and instinct.
i saw the joy of life and the void of death.
in that instant, i was everything and nothing,
i knew all, felt all, and there was none more powerful than i.
in that moment i was life and i was death.
i was a god.
then the grove returned and i was once more myself,
except i experienced a profound sense of grief for all that i had lost.
i was truly alone.
the dream then faded to black
and i
dreamt no more that night.
