I'm beginning to feel it's not worth being on steemit anymore...
THE NEXT SIDE OF ETERNITY
I have to admit that there are times when I am not completely normal and which crop up usually on pay day afternoon when the horn blasts to the sky that I can go.
But not everything is so simple, sometimes the blind lead the blind, and you can hear them gnawing away at their tunnels to be let out somewhere in the dark.
But war is not for me, so I will carry on working until the horn blasts to let me out to the gaiety I so desire.
No, I’m not always normal, but sometimes I am free.
The gray-scale of this has haunted since forever and has caused me to pull a few splinters from the eye, I can tell you.
Anyway, what with one thing being another I ended up at the chippy for whatever I could afford and began casting spells to see into tomorrow to see if I’d be a winner.
It will come to you when you don’t look for it anymore, said my soul hiding behind where I wouldn’t look.
What is, I asked not really expecting an answer.
Why, all you are looking for of course said my soul.
But I don’t know what I am looking for I said then as a modern day style of crowd surrounded me wanting to get in.
You have to get inside your dark, that’s where you have to get it if you want to know what you want said my soul and faded away.
What, said a girl standing beside me, catching me staring at her as if there were 21 dead bodies in a grave somewhere and I knew something about it.
Shellac nails, I thought and began to dance naked again under the moon.
As she followed me with her eyes, my beard grew sideways and my toes curled up all the way.
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
Half way down a bottle of red wine I began to think of nothing else but my problems, so went for a walk out of town. Ten minutes later I was over by the river and looking into the trees so quiet and peaceful, that I decided to enter and listen to what I found there.
I looked around in the silence and became aware that I was looking everywhere, like beauty in the essence.
I was not morbid about this in any way; in fact I began to wind-up my watch even faster and gave my blessings away freely to all around me where their whispers found me ages later up another tree and taking my time to re-read all I could of what I knew and didn’t know.
I know by now you must be finding this a little bit strange but don’t let it blind you to anything you’re not sure of.
I am of course not a guru or anything, in fact I don’t even own a tractor, but I thought I’d mention this just in case you were having second thoughts or something, if you know what I mean, said the mirror on the wall staring at me.
Well, maybe I was a bit wet behind the ears, but I took this as a message from beyond, and so jumped through the hoops accordingly all the way up to my ears and received an award for it that sent me hopping into my super-power outfit to approach the mirror as the warrior and not look like a fool.
I don’t care that much about looking into mirrors at the best of times so I took a gulp of air and looked around to see where my sandwich had got to, but didn’t see it anywhere so decided to go home and finish off the wine.
