Through, down, out and then in And then through again Into another universe Where creatures dance In the sparkling of light That enters through an opening That we would not touch And where we would not go. A child sat and stared out Into the darkness Shivering and lost But the light guided the stars And the child reached out To touch the abstraction I could see the opening From where he was perched But not him for perhaps he was not there But only in my mind. And the vastness of the universe Stemmed into the little crevices Where thoughts stand alone In darkness. The colours blinked In between the unseen And unseable In this timeless moment Where only statues move.
