Transcending Time

Drifting in a far off place
I roam the countryside
Seeking wings of thought
Waiting in the blind.

Enchanted and transfixed
I am pulled into the still
By a backward ticking clock
Held against my will.

Illusions turn to dust
Scatter to the wind
Like dreaming while awake.

Signals in the mist
Altered state of mind
Stars in the abyss
Transcending time.

Midnight in the garden
Digging for a spark
Where seeds of inspiration
Lie buried in the dark.

Attention starts to wander
As the poet lifts his pen
And the critic from within
Is silenced once again.

Limits leave no trace
Ashes in the rain
Lost and far away.

Signals in the mist
Altered state of mind
Stars in the abyss
Transcending time.

Signals in the mist
Stars in the abyss.

Euphoric obsession
Without conscious intention
Being pulled by the current
On a vessel steered by someone else.

Transcending time
Transcending time
Transcending time
Transcending time.
