I’ve seen beyond the mountains Walked along the shore The shade of tranquil forests Covered me from the suns warmth The dream compelling A liars reward Phantasmic grins mocking Reactions programed Senses obscured obstructed Doubt conspire Its actors concise Curtains withdrawn A deniers paradise Just past the boundaries Celestial plane revealed We’ve been trapped here Rambling to ghost Shadows of the truth Blinded by perceptions Deceptions grand illusion Prime our fate The dream compelling Fantastic scenes extorting Thieves dwelling Exposed seams contorting Phantasmic grins mocking Reactions programed Senses obscured obstructed Doubt conspire Its actors concise Curtains withdrawn A deniers paradise Shadows of the truth Blinded by perceptions Deceptions grand illusion Seal our fate Projection ensalve this trivial oblivion Prying eyes gaze the tangible realm I’ve never breathed mountain air My toes never met the sand The sunshine on my shoulders A fabrication

I dropped anchor long ago The beaten shore bruised A sight for crooked eyes Rested refreshing sighs Debris kissing the shore What the tide brings in Oozing at the cracks, bleeding Warranting the wreckage The rancid stench of iron Eroding the sinuses The barrier broken through Cleaning salt seeps into the wound Glass in my finger tips Sensitivity to the light Sand filling my boots My mouth filled with shards I jumped ship long ago The beaten shore bloody A sight for scorned eyes Rested refreshing sighs Debris kissing the shore What the tide brings in Oozing at the cracks, bleeding Warranting the wreckage Am i an island a lonely body Imprisoned by the swirling vortex Don't you hear it Singing its lullaby What twisted mercy What twisted mercy

Endless wandering The twists and turns of these woods A shelter from the sun gaze Its beauty masked the falsehood Wooded winds Surrender a stream A treasure trove So nursing A crown of leaves To keep the memory I could leave this place The haunting calls beckoning A solace offering Expelling restless dispare These woods are my asylum A comforting timber cabin Built from wooded grace Offering my escape Unburdened by the unseated wood A network of trails my playground Foliage cleared out The ebb and flow unhindered The natural order My own master I could leave this place The haunting calls maddening Stumps are all that remain The forest left with nothing

Take a deep breath Feeling the depth The calming rhythms Each muscle relaxed A form my mind Can’t escape Taking holds Manifest shape Cold peaks towering Callus and conniving Terrain treacherous Ascending catalyse Crawling torment Howling menace Clawing advance Calls persistent Take a deep breath Feeling the depth The calming rhythms Each muscle relaxed A form my mind Can’t escape Taking holds Manifest shape Cold peaks cowering Aching groveling Triumph imminent Conquering catalyst At the summit Madness breaths Clarity erased Existence ceased Submit to the fall Plummeting mortal The comforting ground Settling earthly bounds Take a deep breath Feeling the depth The calming rhythms Each muscle relaxed A form my mind Can’t escape Taking holds Manifest shape

The garden in our heads Drenched from the brainstorm Washing away The supporting soil Old growth became An unruly thicket Dorment prosperity Waiting to bloom The ground settles Roots overgrown Too green to burn Suffocation looms Stagnate pastures Passing judgement Weeds invaded long ago The storehouse is full The harvest will spoil Fanning the flames Pouring the oil This prescribe burn overdue Years of work Feed the blaze Grasslands turn to ash Transformation's quiet embrace

I've grown tired of this Infected swollen shore Peer into the piercing deep Set sail for the poison sea Waves crashing Against my craft The coast line sinks Into the distance The swell persists Ripping at the mast Hear the call Among the wreckage Wounded souls Piloting ships like pirates The wind in our sails stolen And we can no longer soar Abandon all hope or walk the plank Tyrant tidal waves Flooding the vessel Treading the waters venom Pouring into open wounds Set sail for the poison sea Set sail for the poison sea The wilds gone succumb to the abyss The void closing in and its left hungry A somber sweet smell lingers The salted air stinging Waves crashing Against my craft In wake of the destruction I'm left gasping The swell persists Ripping at the mast Soaked and laughing I prevail

about

What is like to go mad at sea and crash into a remote island covered in garbage? Did it even happen at all? what is the nature of reality? philosophy and poetry unite to try to answer these questions.
