The Hyperprosexia of the Solipsist

Eureka! I think I have found the meaning!
Thank God! Because it's so late in the evening

Criminy! I just forgot what I was thinking
Odds and Bodkins! If I only had an inkling

Holy Cow! What an awesome revelation!
After so much prayer and supplication

Jumping Jehoshaphat! It's gone again
I was almost enlightened; about to transcend

Damn this transitory satori, damn this fleeting glance
Arms akimbo while I stand in reverie and trance

I can't grasp it long enough for it to take hold
Manifold instances and myriad thresholds 

Gazing into the ether and staring into quintessence
The Prototype welcomes me into The Presence

There is a radiance I can't see the start or the end of
The only thing said to me was a transmogrifying "Love."
