The World As We Think We Know It

by Jeff Mason — Read all 207 poems by Jeff Mason

Just tossing the rough thoughts out there, onto the page.

Monday, September 26, 2005

Wand'ring through the desert...
left me thirsty,

Beyond a point
I could not quench

I found a place
among the dunes

and there
myself I did entrench

I knew it was a test
of fate for me;

Soon I couldn't tell
visions real
from scorching dreams

In deep despair I fell
so far...
no one could hear my screams...

---- chorus ----

Yesterday,
I thought I'd found my way...

but the end
had failed
to justify the means

Today,
wide awake I lay,
fin'lly realizing that

the world as we think know it...
is never truly
as it seems.

Is this the end...
or just a phantom rift
amid obscure
converging streams?

Can we begin again

in another place
where nothing's real...

out at the end
of all extremes;

when

the world as we think know it...
is never truly
as it seems?

A beautiful chant to match the shaman's drum that beats within, weaving the world, and shifting the dreams

Jeff,

No, it never is, the reality is far more trippier than the illusion!
