In this silken meadowland

Have you ever woke

with the illusion?

That today you’ll fuse with fusion

Thus everything is sweet

But ….

By the time

The sun goes down

Into your cage

You will retreat

Moments of lucidity

Plague the true validity

Of a mind maligned and broke

Quick …

Catch the

Keeper of the Key

Omniscience for all to see

For this here life is

NOT

a joke

I

Poke

I

Choke

I sometimes stroke

But all to no avail

The monkey chatters constantly

In his universal veil

What to do?

Where to go?

How to fight his hold

Maybe …

In another life

My existence will be told

I know you see my weakness

As a blanket

Safe and warm

But…

Have YOU been in monkey’s meadow?

When the bees begin to swarm

Humming

Buzzing

Humming

Bedlam in my brain

Frantic and frenetic to board this honey train

Traversing peeling papers

Unconnected on the floor

I now accept what fate beholds me

I am a prisoner of war

Please ….

Take my hand

Please …

Soothe my soul

Please …

Keep me safe from

ME

And when I live my brand new life

I will be your constant devotee

I will pick you flowers every day

Born of wild stock

We will live and love so merrily

Our souls will interlock

And if you feel a little down

I will gently take your hand

Soothe your soul

Keep you safe

In this silken meadowland
