Meet me at the equinox and sing me a lullaby. Put me to sleep at the inner edge of outer space where I can just crawl into a fetal position and watch as the black holes reveal their secrets to me in full blown technicolor. Give me a stringed instrument painted in black that blends with the interstellar darkness, that I can strum as I feel the breeze from a beach that I conjured up with my imagination, blow over my face, smoothening my wrinkles. Take me to your leader, and help me help him with helping me to rise up into cosmic ecstasy, beyond where the sand can dampen my hopes, beyond and above to where only my infancy has let me go to. Drive me somewhere infinitely awe inspiring, where the sheer beauty of the cosmic magnificence around me would overwhelm me so much, I'd be left reeling for eons to come. Triumph over me as I drown in my self loathing verses, pushing myself to a personal breaking point. As a wise old man once said impulsively, it's always beyond your abilities to watch nebulas bloom as the winds of astral knowledge weigh your eyelids down; it is as impossible to achieve as to divulge in your own deep thoughts, unpertrubed by interfering obstacles that would otherwise condemn the pleasant breeze to a harsh blizzard. Just let me feel the warmth for once. Liberate me from this madness.
Thank you for listening.

Oh, you.
ReplyDeleteYou're so... DRAMATIC.
That's what always strikes me about your writing, just that's it's so BIG and OUT THERE and statement making.
It's dramatic.
It's like that Chcuk Palahniuk quote.
From Fight Club, I think.
'All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring.'
:)
ReplyDeleteThese days, I feel like I exist just to find some meaning of a grandiose scale in normal things. I mean, when life does get boring, you just gotta "break on through to the other side, break on through to the other side" like the Doors song goes. Haha.
If this post was Floyd/mind trip inspired, I'm telling you, the next one is Hunter F Thompson inspired. I've been reading him a lot of late.
