Notes About The Poem

I created this visual using a multitude of colors and upper case lettering. Altering the frequency would distorte the interpretation for others 100 years from now in the future. Concider it my code to be deciphered  85 years from now when I no longer walk this PLANE.

Visual Interpretation

I OPENED A DOOR,
TO ANOTHER WORLD.
UNCERTAIN,
OF WHAT I'D SEE.
ONLY TO DISCOVER,
THAT I MYSELF,
WAS SURROUNDED
IN MYSTERY.

FASCINATING
AND ELUSIVE.
CREATURA,
CAN BE DECEIVING.
THEY STILL EXIST,
IN ANOTHER WORLD,
I'M SEEING,
AND SO BELIEVING.

MESMERIZING FEATURES.
ALLURING TO THE EYE.
I FOUND MYSELF,
ASKING QUESTIONS,
MOST OFTEN,
HOW AND WHY.

CREATURA ,
IS ALWAYS CHANGING.
YET ALWAYS,
APPEARS THE SAME.
CREATURA EXTENDS
FROM CREATURE.
YET DOESN'T
HAVE A NAME.

CREATURA
IS NEITHER,
BEING OR BEAST.
QUITE CONFUSING
TO SAY THE LEAST

CREATURA IS LIKE,
AN ENERGY.
RESIDING,
DEEP WITHIN.
GOING BACK,
TO THE START OF TIME,
IS WHERE
IT ALL BEGINS.

SO, WHILE
YOUR TRAVELING,
THROUGH,
TIME AND SPACE.
TAKE TIME,
TO PEER
BEYOND 
THE FACE.

CREATURA
OF MAN,
FLESH OF SOUL,
PASSING 
THROUGH TIME
AND PERCEIVED
TO BE COLD
