Another World

Long lines converging upon long lines at right angles but from different views, 
one plane from above connecting with the side 
connecting with below 
connecting with right in front of your face like a dream scape, 
seeing everything at once in omnipresence,
 taking it in, and moving throughout a slowed down space. 
Of archways there are four.
One archway is evening
Another archway, dawn breaks over the desert horizon.
Gravity does not exist here. 
The mantis perches upon the chest of the saint
And we know rapture.

This was a real mind bender. The various archways had me thinking about the ending to the old Neverending Story movie. This was a pleasure to read! :) Nice to meet you, Rachel!
