A Day Much Like Today......

Do you ever have a day, not unlike the ones that precede and follow it, just a day where the sun still rises and the moon still falls, and the stars still settle. A day where you just feel inspired. Where the small things seem to gleam a bit more than usual, where laughs echo a bit louder than normal, where food tastes so much better, and being broke doesn’t seem to bother you. A day where walking feels good, and solitude feels nice, where watching life pass you by through other people’s eyes feels perspective and alluring. Where you just stop talking for a minute, and open your ears. Opening them to other people’s conversations, opinions and ideas. Where observation is such a sweet disposition, and motion seems to slow to a hum. Those days come much more often than not in my world, there presence is serene and frightening. I hang on to them by a thread afraid that while growing up they will dim, and my imagination will begin to falter and elude me. I can only hope that they do not, and enjoy the stimulation while it lasts.

Those days seems to shine through my seven day progressions more and more. I feel like at most times I partake in the reactions and actions around me, I sit between two different realities. I fall in love with ideas, dreams, and figments. I fall in love with the things that surround me, and the things I imagine that could one day surround me. It’s all in the matter of the mind; this overtly powerful tool, this place. This very open field that you can do absolutely anything in. You can create anything you want and then it exists, just like that, in a moment. It’s something I have been perfecting my entire life. I create these elaborate illusions in my mind, and I try my best to depict them with paper and pen, but never successfully giving credit to my mind proper. I could never depict the images entirely, nor will they ever fully exist in this world, but they still in exist in mine.

It’s a difficult concept to explain to others, but I still attempt to put it out there. I think one day, one hour, in one day, into one morning, into one idea, into one daydream I will completely surrender myself to the concept of fiction and give happily into an idea about a world different from this. I will walk there for hours, or days, or years and find myself complete by finding stillness in the creation of something I have been building in my mind for years.

Not crazy, from the rest,

Not that it be any lest,

It’s just an idea unlike the rest

It’s just a concept that my mind is fond to test

The world behind our eyes

Is nothing but reality in a muted guise

I could try and bring you into my dreams

But believe me it’s much more difficult than it seems

I have tried for years to create it with ink and paint

But the self creation is much too faint

One day, a day not far from now I will take you there

First I have to find the address and ticket fare

But once I arrive, and I settle into something that has been mine

Once I settle into a dream, that I have created over time

 

You won’t be finding me around here much more

Because where I am going there exists no doors

 

No ceilings, no roofs, no floors, no gates

You will only find me cosseted behind my fate

And that locality is something that even I will have to wait

And it is a notion that never is late

Eyes wide, mind open, strong heart

That’s all you need for an effective start

 

It is all about the way you see your world, not the rest

Don’t let reality be your sole test
