Tripped
wound round a live wire
in moors eye i am an escapee
taken back by mirrors in the blue
sky
the hills wait and watch
and now approach
tripped by winding paths knowing and waiting
by crystal streak in mind
drifting elegantly in beautiful colours
ice blue and light scarlet
weaving mind in novel textures
running feeling pounding earth beneath my feet
the heat ball of radiation
radiating my brain
splintering shards

grassy pillow
soft shoulder earth
walls of grey friend endless cool
a warm bed of heather
waiting on dawn

Tripped
by us here in a wildfall day
intimate miles between touches of spirit
colours moving as friends of dreams
i speak and vibrations are like sand
hot in my nose

And all life goes on
around so many tracks and traces of it
infinite roads and symphonies in every moment
lost
and still more in the next
and the next
and the next
the smell taste touch know mind love
dream heart sting kiss tear ghost

Tripped
in my heart holding you all
closer than blood
everything in a moment lasting forever
knowing that we hide from knowing
and still laughing

and knowing it can never
be said

Thank you Joyce. This was my first trip on LSD, a half capsule of strawberry fields, taken one sunny Scottish day in the summer of 1968 or thereabouts. It was a very intense trip lasting perhaps 10 hours. The full story is over in the prose section. It isn't something that is safe or everyday to venture into but I wouldn't have missed it in retrospect. That kind of vulnerability and closeness of feeling to the whole world is not something I would have missed.
