Illusions (poetic)

Ride the tide
the tide of change
smell the stench
of flesh decay
mortal wound
within my soul
I worry not
crawl in a hole
let the world
come crashing down
silence speaks
no one around
No screams to hear
no pain to feel
it doesn't matter
nothing is real
wings of destiny
fly me home
out of this illusion
no more to roam
from my mind
the thoughts do spill
what does it matter
nothing is real
closing my eyes
daring to dream
or rather to wake up
and for the first time see
its all just a facade
stop and stand still
open your eyes
you see...
nothing is real...

Beautiful words my friend, but they make me think and it's late and thinking will keep me awake.

Thank you for sharing them and the night of insomnia.....I shall dwell on you.

Thank you!! My bad though...I too suffer boughts of insomnia and it is no fun! Although I do some of my clearest thinking in the wee hours!

Agreed. I should write more in the wee hours, they have a still, clear vision to them. I simply use them for dreaming away the moment. It's a waste really.

Aww, but our thoughts, regardless of the content, are never a waste!! And just think, they are the fasting moving thing in the universe! There is something to contemplate next time you can't sleep, the speed of thought!
Yeah, I need to go to bed!!!

fleeting as thought may be, I would not be who I am without it. Nor would you.

The gift of these moments we share, perhaps are more precious than all the moments we remain in quiet solitude.

For without them, How could I ever learn of you?

I was only commenting on your own grace, The light you share with us all. For this we are grateful.

What in this world is more beautiful than the song from a pure heart, reaching out to comfort those in need, to touch those with understanding.

You are my friend, very gifted.

Thank you,

That was amazing!

It gets me thinking about multiple dimensions and other theories such as the holographic universe. You got me thinking again.
