Looking up
a glass ceiling
my heart encased
darkness hovering
pitch black
& inked
a lake of illuminated 
white clouds
 silently watching
a drifting ~
 iridescent glow
offering
enlightenment
radiating
like a Gods hands
stretching the
stained canvas
in beautiful sadness
dreamlike landscapes
Sky & Earth merge
an acquisition
of shattered tears
through a looking glass
a ghostly shadow
breath-taking
everything clear
in mirrored skies
a face ~
ducking out

masked, 
cloaked
& hidden
from 
the 
night.
