It's Later Than You Think
I've seen the people crying
seen them lined up in the road
standing backed against the wall
nowhere left to go
I see the sun keep coming up
the morning sky turn blue
I make myself remember
that we're only passing through
Still, someday a time will come
you better know it will
he who was first will now be last
and gonna have to pay that bill

CARNIVAL
These ancient narrow streets,
once dark with mad legend,
now crawling alive below
twisted, cursive wrought iron.
Looking down into chaos and
falling through the long hall
back to memory of her,
sitting late at the bar,
saying, how could I miss it,
the smorgasbord of pleasure.
I spoke words of leaving
to her smile and her eyes told me
that my words were lies.
Below my feet are spirits
of many worlds and faces,
dragged up each time
to meet in this weird pageant
like the drunken contents
of lost sepulchers spilled together
onto littered streets.
The howling of tears and song,
of laughter and of minds lost,
of lovers found, to be forgotten.
Wine and spirits pour like blood
at some fantastic mass communion,
the wafer of our very flesh
consumed on altars of desire.
All ghosts are holy here
and vestments, glorious and vain,
tatter in the pulling hands
of the blessed and the damned,
falling together into bliss
or to burn in eternal flame.
The call rises to fever pitch
and turning back, I step inside
to find my feet upon the stairs.
Treading down deep into dark,
I see a light that lies ahead.
Following my walking feet,
the iron gate is all that holds
the street back from this
inner sanctum
of sanity and calm repose.
Swinging open the bars
and stepping out into the crowd,
immediately I am lost
and swept away by relentless current,
feet no longer touching ground,
laughter ripped from out my mouth
so loudly, yet I cannot hear it
nor can I recall my name
or where I was before this time
of twitching orgiastic dance
or why those balconies look safely down
with distant faces like I once knew,
when just below them hunger reigns
and I have fed myself, at last,
into the mouth of the beast.

We Are Not Alone
The concept that we are the only intelligent living things in all of this vast expanse is ludicrous, at best.
The idea that there is The One God here who punishes our personal minor infractions and encourages us to make war upon each other in His Name would be entirely laughable, were it not for the millions who have died at the hands of 'believers'.
While our paltry lives are not even a blink in it's existence, we are, all the same, part of this magnificent experience, and therefore equally capable of beauty.
Behold, the True Nature of 'Heaven', so exquisite, it brings a tear to the understanding eye. We are not alone, but part of a cosmic dance of all eternity.

With the right kind of eyes....
We can see that we are all the Same Infinite Spirit, dreaming we exist in separate bodies, wiggling along in a space time continuum. Dream a dream of peace, love & understanding. Lord knows we could always use more...
