I am surrounded
By wondrous people.
They are mazes,
And matrices,
And puzzles,
And Worlds.
Their Worlds are very different;
With Liquid pools of red and blue:
Ever-moving, bone-chilling,
Heart-warming
Liquid.
"Jump on in, let's float and swim,
Flip, do tricks, and get lost for hours."
Liquid.
Some do not have Liquid;
Some have Flame.
In constant conflict,
Rapid, raging,
Magnificent, maddening
Flame.
It engulfs their souls,
It clouds their minds,
It eats away at them;
Flame.
(Although fire can be glorious thing,
If you know how to use it.)
Some do not have flame,
Some have wind.
Whipping
Their hair in their face;
Throwing harsh stares
In this mockery of space;
Isolated,
Upon a mountain-
top, cold and empty,
Wind.
I as well have a World somewhere.
I imagine
That I have neither Liquid nor Flame nor Wind,
No,
Instead I have a blinding darkness.
Stars stretch on,
Bright Yellow stars,
In the never-ending darkness,
(For they are Invisible,
Always there, simply unseen)
And a switch lies in the middle.
I have a desire
To trek to this place,
To explore
Every barren cobblestone
Road of this dimension I call my World.
I feel the need
To discover its door,
Pry it open and dwell for a while in its depths.
I will flip this switch,
Bring light and illumination
To my vessel,
And fin'lly see the Stars within
Its walls.
