Ramblings

Ever wonder what happens after the warranty on that glass-topped table expires?

I heard a loud crash the other day, thinking a bird had just tried to fly through a window. Didn't expected to see a pile of ground-up tabletop on the deck! Luckily nobody was nearby at the time.

Apparently all tempered-glass tables have a habit of exploding occasionally for no reason. The mfr has even known about this, but since they never issued a recall, I'm stuck buying a new one. No glass tops this time though.

Looking around...
What do I see?
I close my eyes...
What do I feel?

Letting my energy go free
Flowing in the space around me
Visiting whatever is nearby
Like a cat exploring its territory.

I open my eyes
The world is somehow different
I am more a part of it
And it more a part of me.

Drifting away,
I see a light
Far off in the distance.

Is it a beacon,
Or another ship
Exploring the night?

I turn away,
Knowing the light
Is only an illusion.

I am here
left to ponder
why I am here
left to ponder

I seek an answer
To a question
Or is it a question
To an answer

Is it a paradox
Within a paradox
Or an illusion
Within an illusion

The world circles
All around me
Or perhaps the world
Is all within me

I contemplate
On the stillness
For all eternity

Splitting the hairs of life
Making a choice, left or right
Do I go this way, or that?

Only time will tell if I was right
Yet there's no wrong on this flight.

The life I lead, into the light
Will take me there, in spite
Of all the inconsistencies.
