Fall Awake

I was a curious boy with a wandering mind

on a hungry search undefined

in a rigid school full of concrete thought,

a structured day and all that brought

Logic ground in repeatable facts

my big energy faded back

They gave me far less than they stole

they packed my head and they drained my soul

So I learned to sleep in a distant stare

out beyond, unaware

of a clear instant path I'd take

if I'd close my eyes and fall awake

It was an instant lift, my mind grew light

a lucid dream of a graceful flight

Just one pushed and I learned to fall

into the arms of the energy that voiced my call

Now each dream is an epitome

a beautiful glimpse at my permanent home

I'm a timeless entity cloaked in skin,

the eye of the universe turning in

And it's all between my ears

I know my may to a magic sphere

A clear internal path I take

when I close my eyes and fall awake

It's a world too dense with material toys

and signals laced with a lot of white noise

But there's a place in me that scientists

can't explain so they just dismiss
