At death’s door
The machine of mind’s last attempt
At designing a new form of the search
A kaleidoscope of patterns, patterning
Synapsed onto the shadow world
Fractals of light tunneled
Through skeletal remains
Of illusory impulses

Brain flickers gone
Reloaded on the other side
With persistent gross urges
Still requiring expression in realms of never
The all-pervading Giver
Forgotten in the process
Left hanging on burnt-out matchsticks
Snuffed out by the winds of false desire

Before death, mind
After death, illusory impulses
Smoke and mirrors from the Vegas trickster
Who likes to pull shrouds from her plastic thumb
The uninvited guest at the wedding
A vicious cycle of re-incarnated shapes
Bouncing off mirrored crystals
Of multi-dimensional existence
Reflecting, as it were
The enchanting mirrored-lake of Narcissus

Aye, death is the ultimate revilement
To the ego, that constant activity
Of damning the free-flowing waters
Of love’s eternal silence
Close-fisted, gasping for one last breath

It doesn’t have to end this way
