Once I rode the Thunder

Ten to Two (The Adventure)

Here in the Twilight

Electro-turbulent Expanse of Light

The Blue Island

Painting with Cosmic Hues

Once I rode the Thunder

Once I rode the Thunder,
Cascading down the Electric Corridor.
Bright and Furious,
With tendrils of Quantum Rain
and Waves of PURE Intensity.
Once again I rode the Thunder,
Now Cascading toward a Whispering Dream,
Embers of Silver Flames wash the Sky
While flocks of Stars shine in the Night,
Dancing at their delight.
Once more I rode the Thunder
Blazing towards an unsettling Sight,
Love long gone and Dreams forgotten,
Heartlessness overcomes and Kindness departed,
and now I no longer ride the Thunder
cascading down the electric corridor.

 

Ten to Two (The Adventure)

Late one evening, Late so Late
I sat gazing at the scaled sky
Shimmering from the Silver Stone.
Dancing Shadows slither across the Emerald carpet.
While trees; oh the Great Green chapels
Soar to the stars and then fall
Like Willows melting in a Surreal Realm.
It was beginning, so I sat and Dreamed
With eyes and mind wide open.
Flashing Mind-Running-Speeding.
Steams of cars streak by leaving trails
Of Lazer Sabers.
Street light glare with a psychedelic resonance,
Cement and Iron canyons breathing,
Light beam pole permeate the Road,
Speedometer dripping...How fast are we going?
Arrival in floating meadows.
Moonlight Shines, flickering forms
Move and dissolve in the shadows.
A figure walks by, transparent trails
Follow her form
As I sit Dreaming,
With eyes and mind Wide Open.
I saw the peak High in the sky,
Blazing Embers of light
Swirl and Dance and Fly
into the Curtain of Night;
And I dropped Four more Slivers of White.
I thought I was dreaming,
Now I'm Being, with Eyes and Mind Wide Open.
Memories focus and mind wanders
through fields of Bright Green Knowledge.
Flashing mind-walking-feeling.
Stream of Life Flows
Leaving Cosmic trails,
Like fingerprints as it goes.
Morning Dew forming on the petals of Astral Flowers,
Calm, Peaceful, Serene, Powerful.
The Millenniums passed before my Mind,
I saw Molecules and Milky ways
Melting in front of my Eyes.
Then I saw the most inspiring sight,
A miracle of Life,
Cascading Colors fell like
Rain through the clouds,
Sunrise so beautiful,
Loving so bright,
As we spun around a star
on this Great Stone of Might.
Being in Existence
I walked the path of the Ancients
Through the Elven Wind
to the Emerald Forest
I walked-Feeling,
With my heart and my mind wide open.
Down the path, Brass streamed leaves;
Reflecting Pond of Light;
Shining, Golden, surrounds Dark Druids
Piercing the Ravine.
A trembling blue Boulder trails
the corner of my eye,
On which I sat upon
Gazing at the Celestial Sky
Over the glowing green valley.
Butterfly Kisses Good-bye,
Then I slept, Dreaming, with my mind wide open.

 

Here in the Twilight

Gravity falls through the Light,
Blindly.
Echoing thunder reaches from the Sky,
Boldly.
Richness that evokes the Soul,
Calmly.
Serenity of the Sand moves me,
Deeply.
Rose Blossoms Bloom,
Brightly.
Even here in the twilight.
Prismatic Lights
Blinding.
Vastness of Wisdom
Engulfing.
Illusion of Life
Fading.
Shell of Confusion
Breaking.
The Sun does Shine through
with Illuminating Rays,
Even here in the Twilight.

 

Electro-turbulent Expanse of Light

Spiral Invisible Philosophical Minds
Converge
and Wander,
Bits
and Bytes,
Translucent Lights.
Distant Psyber Altered Eyes
Collect
and Disperse,
Zeros and Ones,
Bits
and Bytes,
Transcending Minds.
Magnetic Music Loud and Vibrant
Echoing
and Evoking,
Bits of Bits,
and Bytes of Bytes
Zeros and Ones,
Electro-turbulent Expanse of light.

 

The Blue Island

The Blue Island,
ancient and Bold,
Emerald Kingdoms High.
Idol Gods aimlessly glaring,
Never knowing why.
Midnight sun blazes here.
For the destruction and greed.
Falling men begging on their knees
but there will be no good deeds.
Dark towers reach ever higher
Burning in the Fire.
Draining and Cold,
Industrial Mold,
Emerald Kingdoms laid low,
the children will never know
The Blue Island.

 

Painting with Cosmic Hues

Trembling life unfolds
the canopy of the Great Canvas,
to be painted with Cosmic Hues,
Rejoicing Yellows, Reds and Blues.
Images of children exploring,
finding their own way,
In a Tecnopunk world of Corruption and Decay,
To be Masked and Sheathed like an Animal Breed,
Where one cannot truly be free.
Fighting for survival in a Realm of Money and Greed.
No longer Painting a Painting,
but holding onto faded memories.
In a Cave of False Dreams,
Bound and Gagged,
Following shadows on the Wall,
Not remembering at all,
What it feels like to paint with Cosmic Hues,
Rejoicing Yellows, Reds and Blues.
