SURREAL

SURREAL When reality is not quite enough And a tingle goes down the spine The experience is like never before Slightly anxious and no longer sure When one steps just over the line A sharp focus will battle with fluff It is all about an odd state of mind Reference points now are blurred A strange thing that lifts the reality And a close cousin of sheer fantasy Like noises off, that one has heard Or dazzling lights making one blind It’s been expressed in modern art Vivid colours, and no subtle shades So bizarre, like a night time dream Sanity can be islands in the stream To dispel a sense of flashing blades Cutting a subconscious mind apart Determining what is real in actuality Can be difficult in such a mental state To know what is false and what is true For an artist, the period might be blue What inspirational sources may create To challenge what is considered reality
