The walls fell down
The mind is open
The filter on my perception dissolved
An hour after the tab did
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Flowing down a river of metaphors
Taking me to the top and bottom floors
I find my self standing in the middle of all opposites
That collide within all at once
Forming a singularity in fusion
And I rise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pulling it all into me, balanced on the invisible bridge
I transcend
Into the clouds looking down over Earth
Sun rays go through me and ri-ca-shay a thousand iridescent ways
Sending more than the spectrum of light into a rippling maze
Dripping from the sky as moments turn into days
Slowly raise my head to see a different of the same’s lips moving at me
The way he was standing flew through me a feeling
Which can unmistakenly be described as an amalgamation
of a smootheled gloss polished roundrubbed hood of a back in years surf mobile
With an underlying cool whip over cupcake frosting primer layer
Whose smooth round off beneath the surface shapes the flow
On the right side of the wave that’s folding over my island
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The intrepid traveler, the tsunami rider-
But this time it’s coming from all around, even up from the ground to engulf me!
This has happened before
It won’t be the first time I’ve been to the bottom floor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This island is a volcano in the middle of the ocean
That will grow twice its size when the water resides
But for now it’s going under, I’ll soon find myself a deep sea diver
In and out of the portals that form the bottom floor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mountains fall into the sea
Only to resurface closer to the sun
The all in one
The more puzzles I pick from the sea
The greater the sum that makes up me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
But here in this chaos, there is no time to create shelter
So there is no time to create order
The non stop infinitely expanding potential fills me with waves of uncertainty
Showing me spectrums of depth and meaning
Taking me further and further from the sight of the shore
Into the fathomless ocean until I reach the bottom floor
Which I pass through to find my self in a pitch black room
While the portals suck me closer and closer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deeper and deeper into the chaotic abyss
Patience young master, you will know when it is your time
From the depths a light reaches me
And lifts my head to see this golden droplet
Over the quivering surface
Grab on now! As the one becomes all
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the bottomless abyss pulled up to the surface
To construct a ship, to ride over and navigate through all of it
It will be bigger, shaped better, more elaborate than the last
And this time I will know exactly which way to turn the mast
To lead me from the bottom of the middle of the ocean
To the volcano that’s now rising to the top of the world
I synch in with the wind, and ride the storm back to shore
I see the whole puzzle and every piece I’m grateful for
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shaping from the whole, I restructure a vessel that rides with the flow
Tune in, adapt with it, synch in with the patterns of what’s to come
Pull it all together inside of me as one
From the ground to the sky, from the sea to the stars
I too am the pattern that effects me
I’m not only a piece of the puzzle, but the puzzle itself
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shipwrecked and drowning in time’s maelstrom
Faith threw me a rope
Pulling me back to shore
Only to face many storms more
Undertow Naufrago
