Suspended by a single thread
connected to the Earth below,
imagines, what's inside his head,
is worth the price of letting go.

What eyes that do not focus , see,
trained inwards towards delirium,
reflect the cold reality
beyond the point of feeling numb.

The vacant stare which indicates
no thoughts shall be externalized.
None of this world might follow there,
though closer than we realize.

To seek the course that takes you where
the comatose inhabit dreams,
affords more than it's share of risks,
as fascinating as it seems.

As Mother always used to say,
"Don't do that, or they'll stay that way!"
