    The Progression of Large Mysteries

    I want to sleep and dream
    Of adventure and aggression
    Maybe learn a lesson
    Ill get exposed by who knows
    It will be my progression
    I’ll flip out and trip trout
    Skip doubt and get out
    Letting leaves take me up in a whirlwind
    Getting so fucked up that my mind spins
    I’ll meet celebrities and not be phased
    Take them to dinner to eat sunshine rays
    They’ll be so pleased that they’ll hire me
    To be their personal person to fill them with glee
    Just think how fucking happy they’ll be
    But I’ll surely leave them eventually

    I’ll go on my way
    Onto the next day
    Where something unknown is larger than me
    It’s so large I can’t tell what the hell it could be
    I’ll search it for days, indefinitely
    And figure out that it’s nothing, as far as I’ll see
    Some things are left better a large mystery

    Walking and talking, there’s nobody else
    Start to feel something stalking myself
    Paranoia sets in and the floor wears thin
    And I start to fall into whatever’s underneath
    It’s scary to some but exciting to me
    I fall for a while, going miles and miles
    Deep in this hole, up to the sun
    No way to differentiate from which way I’ve come
    Hitting it hard, I’m left to rest
    I explored that strange world
    I was put to the test

    Lying on my mattress
    Bones are still shaking from the falling sensation
    Heart is fast beating from my dream life fleeting

    Sunlight shining in and at this moment,
    I’m more awake than I’ve ever been

    Wonderful structure and internal rhyme, like a river of rythmic rhyme , or a waterweel of wisdom, or something like that... (and just so you know, I'm putting this in my "fave" folder, and am off to read more of your poetry!)

    What a long, strange trip it's been. "Take them to dinner to eat sunshine rays". Great line. Great write. 10

    Way better than a 4.5. especially the line "I'll flip out and trip trout"

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
