Ego's Echo

"Eye-Flash"

Shut your eyes

Close yourself

Block out the light of day

Feel....don’t search,

Do not reason, in this moment....simply let be

Listen, soak it in

Echoes pounding in your core, senses dancing with the wind and across your skin

Space and time is far...so far away, yet it is all that you see

Meaningful images will appear to you

They will come...and they will flee

The infinite is in front of you, it stares you down, it shrinks you...it consumes you

It is frightening, it is outside of the world you know

But be still, do not evade it....do not let the world’s light pierce into your being

No..you must embrace it, wrap yourself inside it, lose yourself in it...

The darkness is the only thing that gives you the light

For in that instant, when you open the gateways of your soul

It is then, just then, that you know that you are, that you live

Seize the sounds, pound the silence...

Taste the sugar in the air, the current in each breath..

Squeeze the cold, let the chill dive down your spine

In this moment there is only you

When you shut your eyes, you see that which only you can see

Things which none whom have come before you or whom have yet to come will ever see

There is no safer place than this

For when your eyes awaken and you open yourself again to the light

It is right then, in that fraction of a second, that you are most alive

It is when you are most human

Scholars and men of science may tell you otherwise...but I must ask..

What could be more real, more true than the things you see without your eyes?

Sometimes, clear sight is only seen through closed eyes

"Somber Silence"

Can you hear it?

Surely you can feel it

It is there, it is always there

But rare is it that you stop to see it

Beneath the noise it remains, still, unchanging

It is gentle but haunting, soft yet terrifying

It was at beginning and will be in end

A more mysterious thing you will not find

It is the reason you question your existence

It is so simple yet arouses that most complex

It is all too real yet poses as an illusion

It is unreasonable

In anticipation you will wait, wait a very long time for something to break it

You will seek logic, you will search reason, you will yearn for matters of the heart

Your air will flow thin as you grow mad from within

For in vain you will wait for Truth to arrive

Absurd it is, cruel, brutal, unethical, unbelievable, this you will say

Your core will shiver

Like a long cold night waiting for the morning light

You will lay still, in agony

It is a most dangerous foe

It will not argue, it will not fight, it will not answer..

Instead it sits, it watches, it surrounds you, yet remains unseen

You will search in desperation for but a glimmer of meaning

But is strikes you with the weight of its meaninglessness

You yearn for a sound, a whisper, an echo...

But you are but an island of matter in this ocean of emptiness

Though there may be no greater existential terror,

Much like a whisper, Truth speaks loudest when in the presence of silence

"Ego's Odyssey"

Ego is a funny guy, he's quick with words, and little lies

He's never wrong, he's big and strong, believes he cannot die

Ego's a ladies man, he makes believe he understands

He knows the game, he does the dance, but never takes the chance

Ego's blazing through the sky, chasing dreams and archetypes

Flying high and having fun, but too close to the sun

Ego smokes his cigarette, and lives his life with no regrets

He drives a truck, makes his own luck, and never gives a fuck

Ego's still a teenage boy, and thinks the world is his own toy

He breaks the rules, he plays it cool, but never sees the Truth

Ego's got life figured out, he never leaves much room for doubt

He builds his own reality that no one else can see

Ego man I like your style, but we've been at this for a while

You've kept me young, both free and wild, but you killed my inner child

Ego it's been quite a ride, but I think it's time you let me drive

I'll show you things you've never seen, across this galaxy....
