Above the black clouds

The universal pull and push has worn me,

 beyond a sense of self, once again.

The great metaphor spins fear as safety, 

and differentiates the habitat from the cage.

Oh look at these evil primates,

Basking in subconscious glories!!

I fooled myself.

Holding nothing, I let go.

The dream starts as twilight falls around me.

Milk white clouds fill the sky above,

and rain clarity upon my mind. 

I sense, the sense of sensation, 

and expand with no boundaries.

Maybe I am the most almighty planet,

but still I only revolve around, 

what is revolving still. 

Reality sits with two burning eyes,

Twitching with pulsing frustration.

The central chamber 

of consciousness ferments, 

until a molten state, 

and vents its thoughts

above the surface! 

Banal Horizons are set on fire, 

While rivers of prediction evaporate. 

I can see your judgmental eyes;

Sweet serenity, I am free.

Well, Shane....wonderful words and a lovely metre. Flows easily. My mind went to the universe with spiral galaxies and gravitational forces, with volcanoes and molten matter flowing all over. A planet's mind talking to God within an ever expanding universe. I saw the milky way with its association with earth and I saw 'man' in his primitive ways of greed and violence.
That was my mind as I read this poem. The history of the earth? Hmmmm fascinating read.

A very creative and thought provoking poem. How wonderful to be completely set free - what an amazing feeling. You have captured it well. I really enjoy the many layers of your poetry. It allows the reader to think - to imagine. A wonderful experience.
