The Other Side


Of all the worlds I live in
And in those where my dreams are
A bioscope frozen inside of me
Where my memories are as real as
your idea of yourself
as real as
the existence of waves on a shore

I dive
into the ocean
of chaos and immeasurable depth
wide-eyed and hopeful as I am
Waiting patiently to stumble upon
the silvery pearls
of eternal shine and beauty

The music
that flows all around us
craves to be heard
from beyond
the veil of maya shrouding our heads
where's the time to appreciate
the fading sounds of tubular bells?
the stillness of a Hummingbird?

Contemplating as the mind rests
on a plane
of zero turbulence
Words vaporize while I attempt
to reassemble
these fragile thoughts
thoughts exuding peace of the arctic
thoughts of the sleeping polar bear

Like an ant trapped in
the botanical dimensions
of its limited consciousness
glides downward
on a detached leaf from
the tree of life
I postulate my version
that helps me to be.

What is it like
to live inside
an everlasting epiphany?
To wake up from reality
To live within a dream.
