Hyperspace Insights.A Poem by herohappenings
On the back of his eyelids
was a wormhole to a another world, to a universe that he only ever uncovered in the small hours of the night. When the night lights faded away like a slow stumble into unconsciousness he saw his life and Life was beautiful. And he saw beauty, and he wanted to capture it, like an artist with a measuring gaze, or a like scientist with a measuring gauge. If only he had time. He had a taste for the unknown like a child with a wild imagination. Oh the wonders he would wander by in his night journeys to the wormhole in his eyes. But the heart of the universe is a hypnotist. And his gazes into the swirling depths were addictive and intoxicating and crushing like a one-sided relationship. Oh, but Life was Beautiful. So beautiful, that over an eternity of days and nights watching in the darkness death had fallen love. A jealous passionate love takes what it can and destroys without thinking. And so, without blinking the boy with the wormhole behind his eyes stumbled into the great divide, slowly, like a light that fades from black to white.
