Mortal Meets Portal


What if I told you
Beneath the sensory stream
Verily and merrily it's 
More magical than it seems?

The current of reality
You are currently within
'Tis not the same flow 
As when your day began.

Beyond the finite hope
Of our present attention 
Stretches an infinite scope
Of alternative dimensions.

[ Behold a prediction
Stranger than fiction ]

By the time dark descends
And the mind becomes unclothed
A gallery of actualities will have
Invisibly opened and then closed.

Mortal meets portal
Moment by minute --
Possibilities are vortices 
Tho' no eye sees the spinning.

It won't be seen
Like a scene from sci-fi.
The shift is swift
Subtle and ever so slight.

Hour by hour 
We're all in a spiral.

Lickety-split!
A snap decision.
The Universe splits 
Into divisions.

Sure you can take that road.
Just watch for the wormholes.

God is found in the details
And hell is the parallel.

Would opposites exist
If this alone is it?

Can a fettered mentality 
Open a better reality?

Clear the hurdle
Through the swirl
Enter the portal
To a new world.

[ The cortex is your v.o.rt.ex. ]

Breathe in the ambiance of nuance --
Welcome to the multitudinous 
Versions Of RealiTy EXperienced.

Making a Mark

I give up. I give up my decades-long quest to be a [normal] earthly lifeform. I give up the tight grasp on what this world says is important...
