Argh!! I think I posted this in the wrong place earlier.
Putting it in the right place now where poetry belongs. Anyway here it is.
Anomaly
I'm not alive until I'm burning
I'm not afraid to be afraid
I'm not aware that gravity holds me
I'm still convinced I will fly someday
Dreamer awakens inside of the dream
Shakes the shoulders of the slumbering
Somewhere the ocean's tides are rising
As the sun's fire creeps over the horizon
Like corpses the restless ones moan in pain,
"We are the dreamers soon to awake."
Dreamer reaches to the edges of timespace
Grips the fabric and weaves its threads
Bloodstained quill writes the tale of the living
Each sentence dotted with that which is dead
Illumination and color lovingly painted
Shadow and darkness the depth of form
I'm not alive, just a travelling dream
I'll never die, only turn another page
I'm not the girl you see with your eyes
I am the Writer, she is my disguise
Seer opens her eyes in the darkness
Countless reflections come to life
A thousand faces, punched and kissed
Weeping and laughing, fiercely alive
A hundred eyes among them meet and stare
Seer beholds herself everywhere
Star reaches out with arms of flame
Burning existence lips cannot name
Sound hums inside the vacuum of space
Particle symphony, chaos arranged
Star tugs inward, breathes life into dust
Pushing out that which to dust shall return
I am a phantom, illusion of form
I am dead and forever reborn
I am an adventurer by light of morn
I am a traveller old and worn
Eternity is inside the head of a pin
Chaos dances inside the silence so still
Past, present, future in the grass at your feet
The sphynx with a grin tells a riddle to thee
Inside deathly severity the joke, the punchline
Infinity is nothing, nonexistence is alive
Simpletons raise their hands to the sky
While the gods look to their rulers on high
God of the gods heaves the saddest sigh
Spinning existence in the blink of an eye
Cold with the anguish of all beneath
Burning with the purest will to Be
I'm not alive until I am burning
I'm not afraid to be afraid
I don't believe your gravity holds me
I know that soon I will fly away
I'm not concerned with the matters before me
I'll wear the dress and play the part
I'll pour emotion, trace every moment
I'll shed this skin, take a bow and depart
I sort of tapped into my "other side" for this one, if that makes sense - my higher self I guess. I wouldn't call it channeled so much as a sort of free-form self-exploration sort of piece, but nonetheless I was not 100% aware as I wrote. Thought I'd post it here since it seems to have come out with a rather spiritual flair.
Blessings to all you beautiful people.
