DISSIPATE

Detached from the things that are seen  I feel and hear my heart like a drum   Struck soft in my chest granting me life    Springing up like a flower to the sun.     It beats ever soft like a youth      Pounding slowly then faster I fear       As a vision enters the threshold and         The flower drops slow like a tear.         Endless wasteland – disappear.         Drums in the distance beat wildly.        Inside my chest there is a child in control       Sending rhythms that pulsate the wall like      Slants of light from the sun through my soul.      Illuminant mysteries are surrounding     Powers that are unseen by my eyes    As the dreaded dream - a nightmare it seems    Touches the very mask of disguise.   Existence rooted up.  Vitality dies.   Dead are the things I have seen    In a world where the garden is bare    Solemn yet bringing no life         Seeds from the depths of despair.       I am the one who went walking out        Planting my heart as I went.         As the drumbeat settles in failure          The flowers spring up to repent.           Ethereal garden.  Glorious scent.
