Mystic Feelings
The night was loaded with omens
Like the work of an evil child
I, being human, was an evil child
The grieving sky turned
The wind got up
The wind cut
A tree crashes down
The strange landscape shouted with surprise
Bewildering, intoxicating
An evil child was the pinnacle of creation
Frantic to talk
Hungry to talk
Brushed quickly away, dirt under a rug
Once stopped, I was caught, trapped in color
The tree became a spring fountain
The wind waved
Struck with dazzling uncertainty
As bright and clear as crystal
It was an intolerable magnificence
Light Light Light
One cannot make the words too strong
Intolerable magnificence
I, an evil child, could clearly see
Everything easily ran to get away from an evil child
Everything was trapped in color and dazzled by the clarity of light
I recognize now that one thing can change everything
