A Poem

Traveling with light
its the only way to traverse time waves 
with my eyes clasped shut, i work the magic 
and leap from my vessel with wild abandon... 
only to capture the essence of a leaf 
on the tide of wind that bears it adrift 
ever so carefully so that 
unnoticed, like a thief, 
i arrive at my destination

have you ever existed two planes at once? 
could you stand witness? 
three times now has the world been awash 
waves crashing down with the strength of titans 
rolling in, hungry for sand 
the greatest seas swallowing the farthest deserts 
each time, i watched the world fade 
inhaling the brine, tasting the wide-eyed fear of the ones you love 
It asks a price of your soul

there was love lost, and there was absence of love 
a million highways captured me in their dreams 
traveler though i may be, it haunts me to walk it,
 as i know these many paths are mine 
from the crisp fall of cities asunder 
to the biting tundra of my north country 
leaving behind what i know, but never forgetting

sipping the brew of astral projection 
i've stepped into the multi-faceted diamond of my being 
and was graced by the lotus of the stars 
it's a fourth dimensional existence planted from the seeds of my ancients 
still asking questions, but no longer needing the answers
