Gateway into Creation

 

There's no stopping time

except with that invention

of the mind.

As our sorrow

ceaselessly spins into the soul,

weaving the woe

of the almighty and awaiting

gravestone,

we roll big blunts.

We cough like crazy children.

An abyss arches

presenting a foggy gateway

of inviting light.

Sunshine drips 

through pretty portals.

Did we ever know

the beginning?

Will we ever know

the end?
