Metaphors written in psychedelic ink 
inside my mind like a projector slide show
of insanity. 

The flying pig in the boiling sea chastises me,
I must uncover the cosmic key or the bull
will smash all the inventory.

I refuse to be a diamond in a sea of glass
or Alice through the looking glass,
or stare to long into the abyss
and see it staring back at me.

The golden heart has turned to red
the grapes of wrath are pressing out
the blood of innocence
and I must sound retreat in psychedelic ink 
or become lost in illusions,
delusions of peace.

Hello Chetta, you took me on a journey through a mind ablaze with surreal visions and metaphors. It's a wonderful exploration of inner turmoil and the struggle to navigate the chaos within. Your words speak existential reckoning, where the line between reality and illusion blurs. What a haunting fragility of sanity and the quest for meaning in the midst of madness. - Blessings, Daniel

Sometimes the chaos within seems more real than the chaos without.
