Linear Understanding
Linear time is a nether dimension
ticking backwards ...
Z(ero) is reaching the A(pex)
Raised eyes see the future fading;
distant points of light died
a long time ago,
yet, they still shine bright today
Linear understanding
only can see things simply one way
Horizontal perception is the neural cloudy grey
Try to explain the exponential multiplicity
of a consciousness-expanding
quantum reality —
A palace with many mansions within
is the elevation explanation
wholly given to those who’ve had linear understanding,
and now can vertically perceive
How events long hence,
is the wrinkle of change in fate awaiting:
A shattered heart made whole
by a temporal role reversal
Linear understanding is a glacial half-life:
Decaying time
reactor chained to the frozen past
Destiny yet-to-be determined,
is a narrow, spherical hole
in the middle of a wide hourglass
Fools who gaze into the sun too long,
have their understanding darkened
Illumination begins when one looks within ...
truth is a sharp arrow shaped linear
Has the past been reconciled
with an inevitable, expiration date inhalation end
The death of dreams unrealized,
is the linear motivation
which lift the eyes —
Hope always breathes new life
