madness is subjective
then again so is sanity
tell me what madness is
I will tell you those same are sane
truth- is there Ultimate Truth?
or is truth as subjective as faith?
Time is the only constant
that can be overcome too.
by gods and goddesses,
time can come undone
Fate be repelled,
thwarted, misaligned, forgot...
Hope is only a state of mind
easily given       easily dispelled
Love,
oh what can be said of the ‘greatest of these’
love is the noose put about our necks
keeping us from seeing the Tree of Life
standing before us
Blindness is bliss
“the faith of a child”
but you still cant see

I want to see...
I want to know the truth
I want to be FREE

but Freedom is an illusion
I still want it
but it doesn’t truly exist in reality
OUR reality anyway
the one we are forced to dwell within
trapped
wandering blindly along
through the uphill maze
unable to se the path
what is reality?
this physical world about us?
or that part of you inside that says:
“ I AM “
if so, than those we consider ‘mad’
are really just dwelling a little bit
outside of our reality
in one of their own
but not totally without - those would be gods.
