A Mystic Journey
By Matthew Smith
My inner man is stirred to a vision
off the coast
of my mind's eye
I awake to a mystery,
walking along a majestic sea of crystal glass
a dolphin leaping out of the blue
a white gloved hand
beckons me,
turns me into a wide speckled eyed wanderer
a grand spiral staircase coming forth
Heaven-sent
the hand points and turns as if a clock
“Ascend,” it says.
I yield and obey
the gloved hand slowly nudging me,
guiding me ever gently upwards
where am I going?
The steps bleed together,
My legs growing tired.
I am nearly faint of heart now,
gasping
one final step and I'm out of breath
- A doorway
I collapse against the wood
breathing
instinctively, my hand wanders the keyhole
· A peek inside reveals an entire universe
I look to the hand, but there is no response.
my heart is beating in my chest wildly
observing, I wonder?
I place my wet, sweaty fingers into the hole,
fingering for a moment,
searching.
·
yes. there it is. a latch.
I grab ahold and pull the trigger,
my moist, hot hands dripping
and with a click, a release,
the door is ajar now, revealing glowing light
Entering, the hand becomes a dove
She flys away, leaving a swirl of colors behind her
She says, "I am spirit and I am breath of your flesh. I give you permission to dwell in both universes.”
I fall down as I see colors I've never seen before
A masterpiece of pink opening up like a woman's vagina
Or breasts
A collapsing feeling fills my chest
I ache with love
my tears flowing
Swirls of purple effervescence all about
Spiraling, dancing around me
I have become Snow White,
graced by the song of blue birds
perching on my shoulder
a brown-grey rabbit at my feet
I welcome each strange creature,
seeing bursts of yellowish light
firecrackers filling me with a red glow
It dawns on me: this is the color of love
- Love unknown is now known.
Am I dead?
- Nevermind. I am at peace now. It is complete.
