Chasm!

“A chasm

Along the edge

Of a rainbow

So many colors

Yet none to fill

Dreams

One seeks

To know

What gleams?

A mirage in the middle of

Waves of hue

Or yet another nightmare

Yes or no

Does it matter?

Probably not

For what is hidden

Does not exist

What exists,

We do not wish to see

And the heart asks

To let go

In silence

Chaos weaves a beautiful web

Only

To strangle

And watch one

Befall

Through

The chasm

Into an abyss

Forever

Oh! Probably that’s how

One travels to stars…”
