worlds within worlds

worlds within worlds,

islands of light in oceans of timeless waiting,

clusters of lives that we could have lived

or may have lived and do not remember

all layered in the mind

slowly rotating, folding, unfolding -

muffled steps in narrow corridors

frozen blood vessels, 

secret gates of more unfathomable worlds;

one day we’ll move freely

from this life into a parallel one

across voices and echoes

through labyrinths made of butterfly wings -

maybe one day

silence and words

will spiral into perfectly shaped stars.
