THE VISION

Somewhere in a vision

I saw a man in the shadows

He beckoned me to take his hand

And follow him to happiness.

Taken through fields of dying faces

He led the way to the edge of the cosmos

Where tentacled arms held in their fury

The dreams of all mankind.

Smashing all the boundaries

I fled into despair and hid

Amongst the dying faces

Becoming one within

Losing all the outer

Left to chase hallucinations

Through dark corridors of fear.

A door opened into light

And I fell through screaming

Caught on the winds of insanity

Blown like autumn leaves

Gathering on the evening breeze

Then caught by a friend in the light

Who led me to the safety

Of a heart filled life.
