Doors of Perception

doors of perception
doors of perception
when cleansed will reveal
our true nature..
this is the sage advice
of a statured voice..

the cleansing 
clears away beliefs
which have imprisoned
for so very long..
beliefs of locations
and of timespans
which have locked
the doors of access to
our infinite blue sky..

freedom awaits
as in hasty fashion
we release the hold
of stifling beliefs
and sink into the blue..
then from the viewpoint
of an infinite self
we understand that
the doors were never
closed...
"If  the doors of perception were
cleansed everything wold appear
to man as it is: infinite."
~~William Blake
