No Words

​

I had waited an eternity
to reach this point in my life,
to see the day revealed,
but I never saw past the lies.

I am learning slowly, painfully,
some only-hinted-at reality
that overrides the circuit
of the stars and planets,
that moves, somehow,
beyond the limits of the universe.

Now everywhere the world turns
there is great sorrow,
but the mask, worn well,
buries the emotion deep,
and none will ever tell
the riddle of tomorrow
or wake from the bitter sleep.

So the dream stage is complete;
all is ordered and neat,
and the action takes you
into a nether consciousness,
into a void of awareness,
where no words contain truth.
