In the solitude of a space so desolate
That no one wants to share the dream
Contemplation so spiritually unique
Leaving your mouth open with its thirst
Moisture pumped dry in adrenaline thoughts
Heat exhaustion in hallucinated realities
Sterilized thinking pure of any doubt

You came here to join within the spirit
The uniqueness that drives your passion
To banish the demons which torment you so
Who create so many questions
When there should really be none
To set your mind free in its flight
To wander the universe unhindered

Ride the blanket of the mind
That cradles your visions in exquisite tapestries
In swirls, dance with the philosophy of reason
In the analysis of your fundamental beliefs
In the theory you gain the attitude of self survival
For in your world you are king and master

For truth is not a slave to bigots
Who cannot even justify themselves
But destroys every vision before them
Here everything exists on its own merits
And the reflection of self worth
Will distort those that would destroy
Such peace and tranquility

Take every pore of your existence
Flush it with a baptismal cleansing
That says God created you in a special way
So special that you have this place
To celebrate the abstinence
Banishing demons
Who destroy the dream
That is now before you

Amen to that! Another great write.

Dear DLY...{{{hugs}}}

This poem is exquisitely written, and in order to have penned this, you must have also taken the journey... I know, because I have been there many, many times. I do think, however, that the term "desolate" is a tad extreme, for I find that realm filled with treasures to the brim - just not very tangible, except with the mind.

Loved this ..it goes into my library.
