Shining Thru

Riding on the creaky carts through the twisted maze

Up and down, fast and slow through the dark, misty haze.

Bright lights flashing, quick spin, turned around

Now where are you going, trapped and bound?

Not having a choice you get off at the next stop

People start arriving as you stare at the empty lot.

Not quite understanding you know they are watching

Suspicious of the the quick glances and fake smiles towards where you are standing.

You move slowly through the ever thickening crowd,

Strangely enough still only quiet murmurs are heard, but you think it should be loud.

All these people quietly standing around, no screaming

As a new kind of cart pulls up beaming.

This one is not on the roller coaster track

This one could go where it likes and never bring you back.

All of the sudden a gun appears and a forceful hand

You look around, but cannot avoid it, in the cart you land.

Holding on, not knowing what to do, floating in this cart up above

Waiting for something to happen, others enter the cart with a shove.

And then we are off back into the gathering darkness outside the platform

Back to being chased and riddles to answer at passages, back where the chaos swarms.

Perception

Reality

Spinning Round

Never stopping

three stories, one event

three people, never the same

three views, nothing similar.

what truth is in perception

what beliefs are insulted by the other

When one disagrees

Who is in the right?

Who knows what is true?

It doesn’t matter in the end

Perception is the only reality.

Twists and turns, climbing through the loops

Trying to reach the goals of life

Don’t let people manipulate your goals

Don’t set the goals based on the wrong ideals

Be careful with ignorance, it will get you every time

Sometimes we float on clouds

Sometimes we drive full speed through the twists and turns.

Sometimes we can dance and spin

……Getting dizzy and out of focus, just for a second.

Then the haze clears and we are able to see our true desires

The desires that last for life

The commitment of Love and Life, Passion and Desire.

I am having trouble

Can’t think straight anymore

Everything is consumed by fog

The world spins around me

I can’t find solitude in the madness

There is only chaos everywhere I look

Running only gets you so far away

Eventually you have to stop

Life, death, Running, Standing Still

It’s all the same if you don’t know how to look for clarity

Colors swirl in your mind

Causing Chaos everywhere

No one knows what to think or do

It’s just life and we’re here living it
