Bound

Bound by the light
stepping quietly into
the ring of existence
shrunken to no smaller than
a dot apparent to no one
Face calm, delicate fingers tapping 
her long and slender thigh 
movements subtle yet read
with oblivion, reluctance
truth setting nerves affray 
drip, drip, drip
water slowly building
lands of enchantment, seen
by only the few, Truth etches 
great stories onto the mind 
dreamtime is no time, real time 
saturates her pores until 
oblivion is sought forgetting 
the original Truth that brought 
her here to the now.
