Transparent Force

The transparent force that shelters me from those things In which I do not believe, Opening my mind’s eye to alternate dimensions, new worlds, and undiscovered mysteries, That as of yet, I do not or cannot perceive. Or perhaps, just perhaps, It is that journey into the twilight, That travels just beyond the unseen passages of a dream. Madness Redefined My anguish of consternation, Invades the remaining mass of my weakened bones. It is then, the reflections, Of my mysterious illness, Ignites me to madness of determination. It is that moment, that I undergo the challenge of change. For all that I touch, all that I taste, all that I believe, Must now be redefined.

Thank you. So many people talk about fear in a negative way, there are times when fire can keep us safe and when we get through it, we find that our perceptions change and what seemed normal once then seems like madness. we all grow at different rates. Thanks for reading my words
