The Vision

whispers, echoes, essence of tomorrow 
beckoning my soul. wisdom danced 
behind the calm, calamity of karma 
devastation arose, beneath a sullen

rapture the knowledge, of madness 
came into view, offering nothing 
except a simple, notion that knowledge 
had hidden beneath, a quickening thought 

while laughter employed, a rather sadden 
emotion without, understanding, humility 
comforted controlled, balanced and gravity 
of the minds eye, time folded, the past 

exploded, future, removed for a time 
as the present, held on tightly to the
sheer utterance, of vanishing memories
yesterdays tomorrow, the present's future
