Ironic Paradox

Songs ignite the ether

in the unconscious night

As dreams lift the dreamer

in a flightless flight

To see with eyes closed

by an ancient calling

Like diamonds in darkness

struggling with silence

Words splash meaning across

a canvas that sleeps

Riding on waves of melody

and harmony

Dancing around the imagery

like a symphony

Infinity weaves threads of time and space

Into the tapestry of what is

from a mysterious point

The source of which

can never be approached

Beyond all that is known

or what even makes sense

To forever wonder as wanderer

in the great expanse

Where time conceals

more than it reveals

And what matters most?

The breath of life

caressing the moment?

Love cradling the heart with hope?

To experience that which is

greater than self?

The opportunity for awareness?

It’s an ironic paradox

in which we find

ourselves immersed

We must both confront our fears

and quench our thirst

We keep going to a place

primal and profound

Suspend disbelief to seek answers

Only to discover

more questions abound
