The Gradient Lake - Above, Below

Like a dove, sitting on a branch, reflecting on existence

I peer upon my former self and interpret our affliction

We wade through fearless currents, but never fall amidst them

We close our eyes and dream the skies, but never wake to see them

This is an ode to the sun

A technicolour kaleidoscope, inhabits all your vision

Yet shattered greys define your skies, and consumes your erudition

Let comatose become your god, and your dreams become your being

Close your eyes, illuminate the skies, and then you’ll see a reason

Fragments of light cascade from our eyes

Yet we wear a blindfold

We sit below these blackened clouds

And forget what lies above them

Look upon your life with tangent eyes

Perception is our greatest gift in life

Embrace the dark, lose yourself in the sun

Breathe the sky deep into your lungs

You are anything and everything

A never ending ebb and flow

You are your own creation

Touch your heart and feel it glow

Expand your mind across all time

And indulge in the elation

Merge your dreams with reality

And become imagination

Break free from despondency

And grasp your impeding sagacity

Eradicate the hallucination

Uncover the illumination

Observe…

Observe yourself from beyond the void

Take in the light

Become one with your life

You are anything and everything

A never ending ebb and flow

You are your own creation

Touch your heart and feel it glow

Expand your mind across all time

And indulge in the elation

Merge your dreams with reality

And become imagination
