World Swirled

The world swirled
dancing to my dream music
though I walked along with wakeful eyes

A stabbing moment invades
piercing deep within my soul
though I feel throughout a numbness grow

A timeless wanting wanes
in spite of unsatisfied gains
though I still hope sunshine replaces falling rain

My will touched changing events
ever so slightly nearly insignificantly

My reality fades
as experience invade truths ever so piercingly

My dreams become emotionally quiet
dampening all subtly

My life progresses onward regardless
ever so slowly

and Tomorrow

The world will swirl
dancing to my dream music

Enabling destiny to evolve
untouched and touched
by my passing

Freeing imprisoned visions
fleeting and permanent
within my consciousness

Enchanting what future comes
promising and denying
between wakeful times

I can hear faintly my dream music
I can see the swirl of the world dancing
My dreams I am forever touching
and my fate forever changing.
