Sovereign Iii

Looking out past the cryptic crystal glass 
into the busy rain-slick Street 
I feel the sovereignty of this world 
pass slowly like a shadow beneath my feet 

I sit and watch the passing machine 
the mechanics of the unknown design...
Humanity. 
Every one a different shade size or Identity.

The world we know as a fragile shell 
of what is real and surreal the world 
we know is but a shadowed illusion 
of the story of you…

Just below our senses behind our feelings 
& our lives. 
I sit and watch a feeling 
of the underworld turn 
in its quite dark orbit 
in my inner eye.

He will pass through not knowing 
the truth or observe the inner world & burn 
the sovereignty of night I feel it just beyond, 
just beyond my grasp, 
my reasoning... 

My intellectual reality is hidden 
in a veil looking past the 
crystal clear glass cryptic sky. 
Into the world unknown 
never shown watching the moving…

Mechanics of the machine known as humanity 
viewing the sovereignty of none. 
No one in the outer spheres turns, 
yearning to wait for what is coming…
