One and the same

Lead a million lives.
Seconds reverse,
our setting sun
is twisted backwards
down inside, and upside-down
into a glare, exploding
fire, staring at it
blinded by it
carried with it...
Floating along,
our heads laid back
across a soaring ocean's breath
tumbling, over waving crests,
up and down and fro,
and to, a toss around
we're split into infinity...

Then, what a single moment's bliss!
in clarity and heaven's mist
the shine of white, tales of glory,
heroes, magic, tragic stories,
what an honourable thing!
far more than just a vivid dream
for all we carry in one second
dreaming, blessings, tasting heaven!

soft as grace we then fall down
descending back to nature's ground,
and standing, staring at the sun,
may we be back
....and knots undone...
the world, once dark by smudgy fingers,
now brings sweet uncertain futures
bending, giving freshest thoughts,
a new creative warmth of heart
wetting pores where once were cracks,
taping up the broken tracks,
washing all the empty cups,
making beds, closing books.

Now a normal conversation
is a glorious exultation.
There are no places for our spirits
only the open air can hear us
singing in a blackened wind
we are the myths, living with demons!
we are the Bosses in the battles,
we are the shepherds and the cattles,
we are the dirt, the sticks, the bones,
the sopping wet, the dusty moans,
the ticking clocks, we are the waves
of X and micro, blips and rays,
we...and then we're none of these
we are not the wind in trees
we are not the sunny sky
we can and cannot try to fly

In a single second
the greener grass will win
a fleeting thought
and truth is true,
so only this
will i profess:
exchange your constant
with a mess.
upend your life
explore your fears
don't wait.
These are your golden years.
