Alone
And in vision quest
Looking down at sands on a beach
As waves wash my feet with the translucent liquid of life.
A subdued brightness starts unfolding the future in my eyes, sparkling!
I peer into this Sea of glass, darkly, feeling it stare back into this soul.
Realizing numberless sands mark the eternal rounds of intelligence, light, and time.
Tempered they glisten, glare, I glance and they become a similitude of worlds to come.
Laminated and becoming transparent, smoked and blown into eons of crystallized silicon
Imagination fired!!, watching glassy-eyed, waiting, waiting, waiting, for me to show up
Fused into likeness and images, as if proxy for the mind....a faceless luminescence
Which looks back deep into glazed hearts in search of quests without purpose.
Standing on whales ...... fishing for minnows. Straining at nats ...... yet,
Swallowing camels. Tripping over dollars ..... to pick up pennies.
Watching misinformation .......... in search of minds.
Sitting before an optical spyglass
As its waves induce death
While it monitors
Me alone.
