I look beyond the black vastness Of the infinite that spreads out before me. My eyes are closed and I know that the solid world of reality waits past my eyelids. However, celestial explosions of white, black, and green flow through the darkness that envelopes me. I am sightless but sometimes as I breathe I find my way halfway between the waking world and the visions in my dreams. Slippery stones and water that gleams, saran wrapped potato beings are strange portraits of this unconscious scene. It is the breath that carries me as I float slightly above my body. It is the silence and solitude that was forced upon me by an angry and violent human being. Perhaps, it was the first steps Of a ten year old boy On his way to find the inner peace that still eludes me. Or, maybe, it is just a faulty memory that deceives me.
