Suddenly I stood in the hallway while the wind unleashed
its anger upon my back. the cold 20 shadows lay long
on the slightly lit scene.
As dusk turned to night the eyes peered at me through
the darkness. I watched as time & logic mutated into
laughter & colors. One stood berfore me.
When it moved, it became seven,
& when it stopped, it became one again.
Pressed together in this tiny shack we melted across
the floor & became moss & grass covering the floor
in a think blanket. As we were visited by ants on their
journey, as well as bees, butterflies,
& grasshoppers who were on their way.
We suddenly knew no light,
no dark, no black, no white,
& no wrong. Blinded by the high.
Gripped by colors. Nothing was or wasn't.
Everything was an illusion & reality.
We were pure energy & light.
Our words were music & sound,
every sound you could think of & some you could never
dream of. Before long, one star appeared revealing
that after this long trip,
side by foolish side, you were there.
Immediately, the connection was shattered.
Our eyes fell upon the floor as we dismissed one another
& walked away into the silence.
