laying down with the back of my head pressed

firmly on the white bed

I understand what it fully means when I look outside into

the bright dark night and the

sky seems to be a puzzle of some sorts put together

only by

                Dreams



as the sound of beauty fills the air

I hold the paper and the paper holds my heart

and all that I can see is a cold blackness

mixed with the brightness of the moon that causes a reflection

clearer than the bluest flowing river



it takes a few mere seconds to

                   turn over

and observe the world from

                this side of Paradise

                even if it’s the wrong way home

                                                (I’d still grow wings)



and what is a star but a symbol of hope and greatness

only illuminated by other stars and the moon (keeps sending me a message)

or is a star not only a symbol

but a painting that describes the whole eternal universe

and everything ****** inside of it

and who would wish to set the painting into flames

or sell it to the unworthy, for that matter



as the sky keeps beckoning me I remember that

there is an everything to everyone

and beyond life I remain to wonder

if he will remember me and

who I am (was) because I’ve kept realizing

these beautiful revelations at a faster rate than I ever thought would be possible

and the air keeps lifting me off of my feet

                                                                                as I feel like I’m

                                                                being dipped into the fountain of youth and truth

only the water is not blue anymore, it is a blood red



and the stars take everyone for who they are and I keep

breathing to feel the stars of the universe to come and bring me up

and to let me realize all at once that the stars are the ticket to the greatest painting

ever painted

but if keep swimming in the Red

I’ll be dead

but the stars bring life, yet the others will cut it with their flaming knife

(I don’t want to be taken so far away from here)
