Within the Realms of Creation
at first i saw an angel
a cherub hewn of stone
come alive, bursting forth
others saw a troll
an old mage, with a long beard
and then I saw it, too
the trees in the distance
reached tall to the dimpled moon
and clouds reached out
like long fingers
guiding my eyes
around the starry skies
i rose ten feet tall
almost touched the sky
my body dissolved
around my expanisive soul
all noise was embodied by one
the rhythm of life taking a sigh
i lost myself for a moment
inside
a curious child playing
on a pedastal of colors
above a spiraling staircase
i saw demons and laughed
at their silly fears -- and exaggerated faces
and heard whispers all around
of other souls finding peace of mind
'hellloooo" i whispered into
the bright abyss, more of a mist
they answered my games
connected to that internal child
for a moment i was alice in wonderland
experiencing the sensations of soul
within a body, inside a realm
and then my lover came
our souls embraced
swimming in a perfection
that needed nothing more
we jumped up and down
and from there the story begins
in fact is neverending
i was a cat, long and stretched out
in a forest inside a house
finding bliss -- in simple solitude
and those of others
connected and separate
like part of a whole
I saw a soul search within
bring death to his innocent face
I knew then we're all the same
lost within -- trying to find our sin
reaching out now and then
a clan of demons
seated themselves within a tree
shaped in the form of a shroom
each one a fear I sought
to overcome -- I laughed
not to dwell in their beauty
for surely I would be overcome
I ran barefoot through the
wet grass -- and knew
their roots stretched out
far beneath the earth
connected in a bond
that transceded that plane
I ran, I played
I did sommersaults in the sand
and as my feet landed
on the solid ground
I knew then that all was possible
and true freedom was a state of mind
