Metaphorical Life

Once in lifetime i stopped a little and so I did ... I consulted hours of life and saw that the legs of the time clock had been astray for distances ... It was night mouth and night now she had lost that reddish hue, it was already invisibly dark I screamed and I did not hear an echo ... Knowing that fish they sleep in the bed of the rivers, I leaned against the slope of the hill, at the foot of the mountain and I began to speak in glossolalia, or xenoglossia ... I'm not sure ... I just remembered that I have the key of time, and so He cannot catch me ... Then I fell asleep ...!

I had to read this poem again Alkas. Such beauty in your words. Certain lines and images just take my mind away. This poem is loaded with them. "it was already invisibly dark..."; "the legs of the time clock had been astray", and " (time) cannot catch me ...". Simply brilliant Alkas. BRILLIANT!!!

Another great one Alkas. I always believed that glossolalia, since it is the "language" that everyone would be able to understand, was music. All the World over music is expressed and understood by every body. Along with body language expressed in the form of dance.
