• Mindscape

  Its landscape rolls for miles over hills and planes

  As wide as the Sahara and as tall as the Amazon,

  A vast type of terrain.

  Its peaks and valleys engrain themselves, marking territory

  Of space and places traveled from memory

  Footprints in sands of time, swallowed like quicksand

  Grains entrapped in the shift of an hour-glass

  The mental map spans as an atlas-

  Across oceans of thought

  It's diversity like ethnicity, upon continents of want

  Polarities in the North and South wager logic and emotion

  East and West bearing truce between doubt and devotion

  Direction clouded by overcast skies of Ego

  Reigning drops on the roof of Self's shingles

  Keygen unassigned

  Discovery as Self's guide-

  Unto planets unknown and unchartered stars

  Where Inspiration hitch hikes on comets and Creativity hops on Mars

  And the depth of the Earth cracks, when Epiphany quakes

  Staining the soil of the soul, deepening colours of wake

  Senses thrive

  Birds sing songs, echoed in a distant musing

  Ringing tones true and bold, clarifying confusion

  For rivers of uncertainty still flow-

  Versing one through the undertow of how not to know

  Hallucinations and mirages wander in deserts of experiment

  Altered perceptions peer from the peak of the pyramids

  While Preference has her seat on the humps of camels, traveling

  Lessons learned mark the packs of their riders, now unraveling

  As Naivety, whose virtue is lost from traveling alone-

  Deep in the hollows of some cave or an ancient cove

  Familiarity lay at the base of mountains,

  Whose cold, felt before

  Chill bones of frailty and fear, in the face of the unknown

  Crisp winds of Drive, wisp through the grasses of Influence

  And Inspiration cries on a blown sigh, at authentic-indifference

  Misrepresented Benevolence.

  Stones step on water, bearing its fluidity

  Lusting for the wash-over of clear-coated lucidity

  Dream states, stated in the clouds' formation

  An overlay of reprieve from ground-zero stagnation

  In the corner of the Antarctic, thoughts bear a strange dialect

  Where unfulfilled desires compliment that which contradicts

  And all along the oceanic floors of self, enchanting crustaceans grow

  Like the birth of infinity, where possibility sways an exhibitionists' show

  This place bear not the recognition of charting physical space

  Come; enjoy the journeys through the Labyrinth of Mindscape
