I lurk in places that you would not dream of,
I speak in voices that you cannot conceive that can "be".
My heart has touched the fairest star of Delta Quadrant
and returned eons ago with a dream in the palm
of my hand that I forgot to closed.
Thus, I remember what I know;
as I turn to dance with joy in the emerald sky
to encompass the dandelion that flames
on the wings of the eagle's scream.

My tears has expanded to include
the universe that is in my mind,
as I sit in awe, to listen for the burning voices
of the ones that surround me.
I have embraced the unknown terrors of the soul
and seek to relate what I forgotten out of time
to sail the space of nothing in the shadow
of the turn between the worlds.
Know that I am, the dancer of the words!

I like it too...dig the original images. I love to read and thereby see the sights of another's imagination.

I missed this as usual? lol
Like your imagery very much.
Particularly the references to "eagle's screams" and "the universe of the mind".
I love it,
and I hear you.
