The One
I am a wasteland
lost in layers of dreams
Inception, The Matrix
Dorothy and her little dog Toto
wandering and wondering
what the thunder said
as it pummeled a pulpy
sky lost in the Texas hills
where Matthew moves books
as the interstellar dust settles
on the layers of time
where the now is the next
and the then has already happened
in the was which has vanished
where finding a heart
and courage and wisdom
is all that matters as we face our fears
in this game of chess
watch your pawns not to be trusted
in the dreams within the dream
where gravity evades grasp
sending quantum particles
deep into Heisenbergean Uncertainty
momentum and position unknown
how knowing where you are
is knowing nothing
since you are in my arms
and in that holding
that skin to skin
breath to breath
scent of death
as those desperate last gasps
scramble your throat
I realize you have always been
The One
