The Lonely Thinker
February 6, 1993
patterns line the mind
animation objectivity fighting strength
all vie
all are one
and in one consume the being
fragmental
to not know what one is thinking
yet to always know
contemplation not one layer at a time
all to be as many as one at once
patterns ��
reality and illusion
that to find the waking less real than illusion
frightening ��
bit it is all in ��
one cannot wing away, to flee to die
to face insanity, to let insanity drag its victim away
yet the dream ��s so strong
what should be ��
empty
to feel, without touching
what becomes the fleeting dream
that to know another
mind body soul belief answer �� none
to know
pattern is fragmentation
yet the whole is growing strong
oh to be weak again, and sure ��
that reality is not a drowning piper
calling in the children no one has paid for
that touching doesn ��t matter
that strength the jackal is not to kill
protect ��
nor to hide away
layers give lie the patterns
ripples to waves, waves to sea
the sea the soul that none believe
nor should
that the pattern lies as human
tells a tale but never finds more than a dream
reality could be nothing more than the tune of a drowning piper
piper plays
sinking with the dawn
reality and I are one, are not at peace
nor will we ever be
ever stronger I become ��
as reality merges phases, latching on
I became my own dream
or want to anyway
that the sea may know the sea
someday to touch the sun
I see the story ��s let untold
line the patterns that lie the mind
nothing unbelieved is ever real
so I grew strong
my sea will touch my sea will touch my sun
before my tale lies unlied told to all
it becomes time to unfold
but is to dream?
