Beautiful Nonsense
Do you want to see into my mind?
There is no darkness there
As you may think.
The world around me dimming
Trees shoot up from the ground
All around
Red, and golden leaves, and green
Shining in the distance
Glass city, cobblestone, moat and
There, a girl with short black hair, smiling,
Tiara in hand.
And whirling thoughts spiral past
A tunnel lined with ivy, caves
Stalactites falling from the sky
Warmth in my hands, liquid, kneeling
See the reflection, and leaning in, smiling
The face changes, hair turns golden
Blonde, and dark-skinned, fair-skinned maiden
Do you not understand yet? See
Look there, running, boys and girls
With shining suits and dresses fair
Along, there comes, a giant
Is that a cat? And gone, with wings
Flying across the heavens, birds with wings of leather
Bats, and bodies, rows of cords
glass cases, buttons, and silent faces
A forest, trees reaching up to the clouds
A cave, a mirror, a silvery sheen
And suddenly, dark, and I peer in your eyes
With a small teasing smile
Because who but I can understand
My beautiful nonsense?
