Judas and Priest

Sometimes I let my mind take over,

It brings me to beautiful words and works of wonder,

Where i find my way through this rumbling thunder.

Steady becomes my being,

and  I find everything I need.

The uselessness of the world fades out

and I find something much more interesting on which to feed.

Nothing happens in an instant,

but in my mind, a turn is twisted in a quick second.

Many thoughts spring in

and I find them to be so intriguing that I pen them in.

Yet, they never come out how i see them.

Not as vividly at least.

I know that I am dark and light,

Judas and Priest.

But when I am alone,

I am just a small fracture in the earth

and that gives me great relief from the strife I was given at birth.

I am no narcissist,

at least I hope,

But the way that I am makes me happy.

That I am no twig,

nor am I stone.

I live the life I made in my mind,

and it satisfies me so that I feel no time.

Thus I take a right or a left,

a twist or a bend,

and I find myself in the place I had long since yearned to be.

With myself and with my God,

in my soul that lives on outside of me.
