I Am A Code

I am a code, encrypted, complex, multi layered

I am everyone and everywhere.

In every time and infinite space,

I slip and slide lost in twisted paths, amidst the stars strewn throughout creations midnight work of art.

I am vanished.

Invisible amongst the debris scattered across creations endless layered weaving.

I am disappeared into my dream.

This world I’m in has been designed by me,

with wisdom and a humorous twist who threw away the key.

Chuckles echo just out of reach,

as I delve deep within and without,

to unravel the complexities of the purpose

of living in this dream.

I ask this deeper, wiser me

why would I craft this world just so.

I plead to her as I fall asleep,

for a simple clue to set me on path to know

All that can be ever known.

I wake with half a dream lingering,

tears upon my checks,

knowing something significant.

Scrambling to connect pieces as they drift away,

maybe to come back,

in an altered form, when other pieces are found and gathered

In other places,

In other dreams.

Countless times it seems as if I almost crack the key

to this code of me,

only to discover another layer and then yet another

teasing, tempting, calling me on,

as if this was a paper chase in a sultry summer breeze.

I have a fragile sense of expectation that this puzzle will complete,

and all the answers will be clear,

but when or even where

is simply out of sight – just beyond,

the corner in the road,

Just beyond.
