Dream #15 Poem by Kyle Schlicher

cloak yourself
if it so helps
in a skinless existence
relishing
in the glory of feeling
FREE
for the very first time
in your life
lose the lie
beneath the green fern
the worm will turn
restless
in a deathless
existence
end
of
sentence
beginning of question
lost lesson
wandering
wondering
where distant thunder
echoes
and
goes
will you hear it
or choose
to fear it
mask it in a religious robe
placing it under a microscope
to observe as it grows
from a microbe
into a conglomerate
to incorporate
larger
than
life
to become the light
and so
it
must
go
