Wide awake
sleepwalking through time
eyes only seeing
unconnected to the mind
mountains below
fields overhead
gravity pulling
upwards instead
existing to breath
thinking to exist
knowing what's waiting
ahead in the mist
VIRTUALLY
Wrapped in virtual storms
of calculated satisfaction
blackmailed by hidden wavelengths
of manipulative distraction
ignoring the feelings
of uncomfortable bliss
controlled by the lure
of a digital kiss
MOUNTAINS
I've wrapped my head
around mountains of time
transformed meadows of grief
into mountains of rhyme
walked slowly through passages
gloomy and stark
as sweating cold caverns
embraced the warm dark
shed light on the pain
the experts all say
as if moving forward
was the primitive way
