V.O.RT.EX.
By Matt Decker
What if I told you
Beneath the sensory stream
Verily and merrily it's
More magical than it seems?
🌀
The current of reality
You are currently within
'Tis not the same flow
As when your day began.
🌀
Beyond the finite hope
Of our present attention
Stretches an infinite scope
Of alternative dimensions.
🌀
[ Behold a prediction
Stranger than fiction ]
🌀
By the time dark descends
And the mind becomes unclothed
A gallery of actualities will have
Invisibly opened and then closed.
🌀
Mortal meets portal
Moment by minute --
Possibilities are vortices
Tho' no eye sees the spinning.
🌀
It won't be seen
Like a scene from sci-fi.
The shift is swift
Subtle and ever so slight.
🌀
Hour by hour
We're all in a spiral.
🌀
Lickety-split!
A snap decision.
The Universe splits
Into divisions.
🌀
Sure you can take that road.
Just watch for the wormholes.
🌀
God is found in the details
And hell is the parallel.
🌀
Would opposites exist
If this alone is it?
🌀
Can a fettered mentality
Open a better reality?
🌀
Clear the hurdle
Through the swirl
Enter the portal
To a new world.
🌀
[ The cortex is your v.o.rt.ex. ]
🌀
Breathe in the ambiance of nuance --
Welcome to the multitudinous
Versions Of RealiTy EXperienced.
🌀
