Up there, I just missed it,
here it is I cannot handle it
There it went it never changed
away it goes and around again.

yet I am muddled, I cannot find
the reason for this rotating mime;
actors continually coast on stage
'cause history n'er grows of age.

find myself in search of meaning
mirror images reflect the screenings;
never an absolute change to come
whatever peace is always undone.

we grow, marry, age and die
sift the sands for latent spies;
handle products with care that break
believe in show town tinsel when its fake.

Grasping wisps of truth in buried casks
sealed hermetically in caves, you ask?
opened to the light of aspiring days
find out what bibles actually had to say.

Thanks for reading Mysteria.. I'll be keeping the intensity of my writes at this level...provacative without being offensive
