The pieces don't fit.

I walk away awhile.

Join infinite solitude,

and wonder at the sky.

Such tiny little lights,

spread over the black drop.

Without the moon

I can see the night.

The sky in my memories

many times seen,

as I ponder the mysteries

behind this screen.

Peace descends,

ringing in my ears.

Nocturnal waters,

now still and clear.

Glad you like, @greenpea.

Inner rebellion,

a long fought struggle,

with no death

but plenty of pain.

Unnecessary strife

from earliest learning

and just the fact of

being human.

Inverted angles,

we all know

profound ambivalence

at many a moment.

Which voice is heard -

the good or the bad?

And balance lies where?

In all the shades.

Oh wilful child

who did run wild

inside a mind

too shy for day.

Oh mother mind

you are not mild

please guide me past

your ingrained shame.

I dreamed the same dream

three times in a row.

It continued on

like a tv show.

Never before a

dream premonition.

Hoping like mad

this isn't the first one.

Death was the subject

in all shapes and guises

surrounding a man

who once was a neighbour.

Too young to die,

and anyway really,

the dream may have

alternative meanings.

Like new

neural pathways

these past

three days.

With chemicals switched,

the brain doing 360s,

and anti-psychotics

with visions disturbing.

Ironic they turned on

my mind just last night.

And had me thrice dreaming

this horrible plight.

quiet now

sun is out

grass is green

gumtrees have leaves

quiet now

parrots play

cars drive past

trucks in the distance

quiet now

shoulders shrug

chin tucked tight

wind blows in my hair

quiet now

earthy smell

wood fire smoke

faint smell of roses

quiet now

chocolate cake

pizza and salami

schnitzel on a plate

quiet now

time to go

let it all go now

quiet now

I hold that little child

tightly to my chest 

I tell that little child

firmly you are safe

I see that little child

fiercly crying out

I drop that little child

fearful what I see
