Back To Alpha

to Alpha


steel vault, late nights
not a mouse sound can penetrate.
the windows are open
but I am somewhere else
safe. warmed by 
the comforter of dark.
freed, to take the tunnel core deep
into the molten mess 
left by a primordial god

float relaxed  
there are no flaming hands
waiting to pull me down.
I am as I was created  
when stars were forming 
deciding their eons of fate,
I still can not decide.
looking out over a lake of possibilities
tonight I see more clearly 
the shapes of me 
the answers to who.

its is time to begin pulling strands
weaving from the melt streams
a cloth of knowing.  Surely this is me,
she who was meant, from the beginning. 
task completed, at last, 
I see her crisply defined
 that woman always meant forever
through my whole being
every cell singing the Hallelujah Chorus
so this is why I am here

a shift pulls me away
faster and faster.  all that I have just discovered
fades further and further, melts into one
big ball of essence undefined.
gone, all of the answers, locked away again
I rise up into a fresh morning
aware of something ecstatic passing
by coffee it is gone
leaving a faint rumbling discomfort of longing 
like thunder mumbling in the distance.

Love all the thoughts of the night that keep you awake or deep down in your subconscious sleep...
