Into the Abyss
I find myself starting a sentence here
The growth of a seemingly logic idea
Photosynthesizes in my mind
It starts to disappear
When the sky begins to shift
And across the river I drift
I end up over there
Where “the grass is greener”
The air looks cleaner
On the contrary
It smells like ****
Rambling off into the abyss
A bottomless pit
tangled and bojangled words
Particles of confusion from within
Mixed with dust and allergens
Photons expose the imperfection
Dawning the rebellious infection
Staring off into time
This made up thing that we live by
To contain us and restrain us
from questioning why
Does anyone have the answers here on earth?
Or shall we adventure forth
Into space
We can leave now
forget this place
For maybe it does not exist
Perception of reality dismissed
Everything is backwards and people stand still
We walk upside down
And roll up the hill
The sea is above is
The sky is below
We are a thousand
Yet zero years old
Time moves forward
What if it went back?
Or fast forwarded into the vast
Universe
What lies beyond,
The furthest point we can see
We can only theorize
Fantasize
About the beings
Of cosmic proportions
Epic distortions
Of the way we believe
Things ought to be
