Literature Text

Drifting back, slipstream, sun-dappled water
Mossy trees, smooth sliding imagination
Peaceful Pagan soul riding the breeze
Birds chirping, distant laughter
So very long ago now

I used to believe in something, didn't
have to hold back my rage at the world
Used to believe that the sunlight was a
Gracious gift from benevolent gods
It was only a smokescreen

Bare feet dipping into the water, clean
Sparkling diamonds on tall grass early
In the morning when the world was born
Fresh as newly-baked bread every day
Before Kent State and Altamont

Head on the pillow, I try to regain
Some of the lost soft-focus world
How light and bright the colours were then
Before metal domed darkness and screams
In the dead of night
The cadence is all off here, maybe I'll keep working on it. Probably won't, though.

It’s a Pandora’s Box that cannot be closed
Science says time is a dimension
that should move in either direction.
I say only when one can forget.
Only in Dreamatorium

Great work.
