MATURE THEMES

There is a dream I have recurring
There is you with straight long black hair
A kind face, beautiful to me
I am drawn to you for an unknown reason.

The dream shifts.

We walk beside each other at a local park
Talking deep and meaningfully under a rich blue sky
I am not sure why, but I offer you my hand
And you take it, and we hold each other tightly
I feel the electricity surging through me
A shock to my system.

Distortion......

Under these grey filled clouds
I awoke
Alone
This world has passed us by
Your face and your smile remain in my mind
Standing I am on a side of a deserted road
There is a cold wind blowing.

The Silence is atonal
I take my bag and begin the walk
To an unknown destination
Without you.

I am of the before
This world has passed on
There is that smile and that face
That saves me and carries me forward.

Behind me I left the city wrought by nuclear devastation
You were that checkout attendant I was attracted to
Now passed on
I wish I had a chance to tell you how I felt.

Hearts open, eyes shut, I carry on
Towards the mountains in the distance
I want to climb the highest point
Before I succumb to the Fallout
Watch one more sunrise
Of this dying Earth.

And see you in the sun as I reach out
Will I be able to tell you how I feel in eternity?

There is a sound ahead of me and above me....

Distortion....

For a moment I am in the park
Turning to you, I take my hand and slide away your hair
Looking into your eyes, for that moment....
The Lesson was Everything and Nothing, all at once
Kissing your lips before it all fades....

I am on this road and ahead of me I stop
A sphere just above the road's surface
I stare amazed and something tells me
This is the work of alien intelligence
There is a potency of energy
A cascade of light washes forth on its surface
Clearing to form a vision
Of that Park and that girl is there sitting on a bench.

I move towards it as I get closer
I can feel a powerful resonance
This world may be dying
But the one beyond is alive
I touch the surface, and I become a state of being
Above me and around me there is a fusion of light
Parallel lives, different choices and outcomes
Different parts and different Me's
The light becomes so immense and radiant
That I close my eyes....

I open my eyes
I am in a field of nature
But the sky is different
The smells are different
Everything is different
Focusing my eyes and I see two moons so close together
In a new alien sky.

I sit up and see alien life around me
Everything is anew
The Last Human on an alien world
At the whim of an unknown Alien Intelligence.
