Too Far Gone

Reality is not simply a landscape that abounds. 

It is something that must be summoned. 

Something that I must practice noticing. 

With this new found curiosity. 

I must peel the layers of possibility. 

Many eyes, but one reality to gaze. 

Reality I am losing with each blink. 

A reality I must reclaim, but also share. 

For now, I am embracing a magic that I am hoarding.
