In the caverns of my mind
I have whispered ancient spells
that no one ever spoke before;
I have painted runes no one
ever understood, deep in the
dark places only traveled alone.
In the caverns of my mind
I have dreamed of cloudscapes
that I fell through in my journey
to the center of my heart; I
have wondered disbelieving
that there was anyone but me
in this whole big world — but
only sometimes. In the caverns
of my mind I stepped carefully
through the flowers of my
childhood; I wandered through
time before time ran out; I
crept below my unconscious
perceptions. What did I find,
there in the caverns of my
mind? There I was, standing
as if I would stand forever —
if only I turned around and
looked out of the darkness of
my solitude, I would have
seen a sky so blue I would have
cried to see it, out past anywhere
I could imagine on my own.
me?!
