In the depth of night While all is quiet The mind starts to fade Off into unexplainable shades Conjuring images universally bound A state of inexplicable bliss twisting, shifting, contorting forms Time itself ceases to exist Where is this mysterious place? A kind of subliminal trance Which can be tapped into Any given time you like Is this the land of the youth? The one the ancients refer to? The same path the shaman walks? Swirling colours and shimmering beings In the light of day, it is possible But lacks a quality that is not quantifiable Though allusive as it appears The difference is noticeable Can we traverse the time continuum Simply by inducing a trance? Do our ancestors speak to us In tongues unknown to our ears? I believe this to be true And have experienced it first hand As I stomped my feet like a crazed bull Turning into a trance dance The tongue definitely foreign But the emotions spoke clearly This connection between realms Maybe thin, but does exist

It seems as though the Muse has absorbed you and carried you away into her mystical palace my friend, WW so as to display her poetic abilities! Mystifying! A 7!

Haha, it would seem so my friend! And thanks for the word 'phantasmagoria' I'm going to title a song with that now! A real pleasure to read your comment, Demetrios, cheers /|\

So do I, Wendy! So do I! I left school when I turned 15! So am self-taught, I have the biggest thesaurus money can buy, and a dictionary always handy! And I try to learn one new word a week! Thank you for your gracious visit and comment /|\
