Whirlpool of Whirlwind Places
Where the winds murmur secrets of forgotten dreams...
As I drift, through the pelting sea of transient memories, engulfed in the
flickering kaleidoscope of ever-passing shadows, I wonder where this
endless journey weaves its intricate web. Is it a place, a mere dot
on an obsolete map, where the sun once kissed the horizon or
perhaps a figment of imagination wrapped tightly around
the fabric of reality? A voice echoes, surreal, asking,
"Have you found what you sought?" But the question dangles,
forever unanswered, within these python coils of
serendipitous searching.
I tumble into alleyways painted with graffiti of dreams
not yet dreamt, streets whispering through cracks, gravel singing
a tune only the lost can understand. The clock spins backward,
its hands a blur, and the world shifts beneath my feet,
a carousel of past and future colliding in an eternal now.
Enter another realm, or maybe just another
mirage along this sand-blasted path.
Beneath the sprawling urban jungle, in the crevices
of forgotten stones, lies a story untold, wrapping around
the heart like ivy on an ancient pillar. In the rustle
of leaves, I hear the laughter of ghosts, a synchrony
of echoes bound in time, or perhaps free from its tyranny.
Listen closely, or risk losing the tune.
