Obsessed With the Universe - My Spirit

Please allow me to try and explain about my spirit host
That dwells within my skeleton like ghost
It is torn between creation and evolution, a curse
Existing on the periphery of life and an obsession with the universe

It time travels me from heart to soul
From deep within to the near dismal
Free to escape the madness I see
It opens a portal to a faraway galaxy

It is in love stories, music and poems
It is light, darkness, mountains and atoms
It implodes with near self destructive gravity
Overwhelms me with some artistic creativity

It burns hot with the cold glow of a pulsar
Rises me up like a line awakens an aspiring writer
It has deep African origins and a universal destiny
Has been to every foreign shore, but to me remains a mystery

In the bones of your skeleton bones there is marrow (tasty to some !) all the rest is illusion !
