Obfuscation

I close the door and I shut my eyes
Trans-dimensional synthesize
Explore some more and synchronize 
Under the oculus I scrutinize

Polyhedral fractals in disguise
As tessellated crystals in blue skies
In spatiotemporal waters I'm baptized
My hopes and dreams are galvanized

I scribble and scratch and memorize
While I can barely visualize
I pause and ruminate then overemphasize
Yet I can barely verbalize

What have I seen?  What does it mean?
Alpestrine thoughts of the unforeseen
What can I glean from the crazy scene
That left me bereft of manner and mien?

Wish I'd had this clever write to give my 10th grade English class to memorize --- cruel taskmaster that I am! -- when 'obfuscate' was the 'vocabulary word of the day' back in 2015! Enjoyed! Thanks, Trey. :) gw
