Yes.

I am a Pelagiusic Sunflower-(strictly geo-ecobotanic variety-HelianthU.S.)
rooted [ah...stayed too long in one place and cannot fly (free will)]
in the salutation of illusion-
the Sir.real worlds created (Sirach?,not really)
in a mirror
and a dime.

Darkness is only a perception
to those that cannot see, adjust and delve
but only to be blinded
in the glaring day-
But i too unscrupulously must follow
scorched eyes- full wide open
for the Sun King rises crosses
sets in motion the veil of time.
(I am ,of course, a sunfollower)
older? wiser? blindly burning brighter?
The Moon Queen laughs and sighs,
the tides roll to her rhythm
and consoles the worshipper
bathed in radiance mesmerizing
restored the vision....
deflecting the unmerciful brightness of good and wrath
to an exiguous degree
and in dreams
whispering secrets comprehendible:
wear shades next time.ok.
and look to me
in dire need
for that is all you canreallyhandle.
and remember
there is no evil
that is only a controlling diabolical anthropomorphic notion:
[-OH! such royal queenly moonly beaming despot erudition]
To hurt one hurts all
To help ....elevates for we are one
to seek God
not a word, not a book, not a path
try a mirror.
see.
nothing changes but you and me.

Mistaken shaking fears not
it is fevers passion [i love that word]
and shivering
i fear nothing but myself. [I am an _ _(but please read on) _ _ _
The spear of Archytas ricoheted piercing my heart
Life's Blood - Love (at least I call it that) pours
splatters
the ground I am rooted in.
I lay wreathing lapping the soaken soil
to put it back. Back where it belongs.
It doesn't taste the same
It doesn't feel the same
I mouth and spit the same
I find something.I spit them out bleeding once more.
Shards of mirror and a coin.
A dime.
I thumb it and flip it.
My fate uncertain in its arc.
[Fate in a deterministic world. HA! Blind Destiny. I am an oxymoron.- yes, but please read on.]
Heads. YES!..fist punching the sky...HA!
[I would of continued flipping it til it was. Fate. No- what I must do to finish this....]
for the answer is on that side to set me free:
In God We Trust.
Yes.You see. Nothing changes but you and me.

I get up and ponder,pocket that prize
then I awake and realize:

I reach for the remote and change the channel-
Boy that metaphysical station is really too much.
and no commercials to enrich our lives as such.
There.
The Wheel of Fortune.
Much better.
I pull out the dime and look
and throw it back onto the shattered glass
reflecting time ageless past
and nothing changes.

I pick up a book and start to read,
Maybe Hugh Everett had the right conclusion:
Maybe the multiform wavelike world of quantum mechanics
is the real world,
and everything else is mere opinion and illusion.
Just plain maddening confusion.
Yes. I will have to agree.
Am I sure You saw it different.
