Parallel Worlds

Travelling
I began to believe
In parallel worlds

Never did I suspect
So many realities
Could coexist

I am often reminded
Of the grandiosity
Nature embraces
The utter grace of it all

Grandiose nature
Makes me feel
Very, very
Small

She flitters
Carrying thimblefuls
To the flames

Like a dancer
In a deadly waltz
With blackness

I seek the road
Which takes me higher
Up to where the magic lives

And there take in
All that is
Spread out into infinity

I love the way
A daylight moon
Reminds me

There are stars
Beyond blue sky
Uncountable stars

And planets circling
Most of them, and
Some with moons like ours

I stand still
Losing my balance
As the world falls away
Beneath my feet

Eroding, eroding, eroding
All which had supported me
Until I am perched
On a pinnacle

I love a city
Which allows itself
To seem small

So that its setting
In all its glory
Becomes the tale

Dusk descends
Hard and fast
Like the rain

Clouds
And mountains
Mingle

In a waning light
The camera records
As a monochrome

When I realized
No conflict
Could be resolved
Either by winning
Or capitulation
I began to understand
The true nature of conflict

The interplay
Of force
And resistance

Under a sky
So ridiculously
Canary, Amber and Orange
My presence seems
To be the true miracle

How is it possible
There is such glory
In this universe
And how improbable is it
That I am its witness?
