White Walled Universe
They're nothing short of infinite,
these thoughts, these rich ideas of mine;
though, crippled in reality,
for which there is no parting line.
Because I cannot slip away
from that which is sustaining me,
I'll mask the concrete sky and earth
with thin, artistic ivory.
Though blank at first, these paper sheets
are much like panes of ductile glass,
reflecting everything I am,
as I control their supple mass.
The mind, much like a document,
can be erased--or worse, destroyed!
Although, I am exempt from such
when tending to my pearly void.
The creativity I house,
evolving even while I sleep,
will one day change the concrete world
with notions I have sown and reaped.
And so, imagination reigns;
it drizzles from a flimsy sky,
within my white walled universe
where kernel-concepts never die.
