A slippery mirror
upon which
the eye slides
as chameleon fantasies
bloom like children,
joining every theory
in a tapestry of dirt,
a shallow imitation
of meaning;
casting countless lives
like dandelion seeds
in a void that sings
of identities colliding,
refracting in a din
of opposite rainbows:
the mind chiseled
by the translucent hands
of sleep.

Very expressive and creative. Almost reminds me of the vanity in what's considered truth and purpose in the world. Seems as though you've a thorough conviction of justice for the immorality of encompassing spiritual decay found in such mentality. I love the imagery and transitions and theme. The words and metaphors used create interesting contrasts and juxtaposition that I relate to. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! I want to depict the chaos and strangeness of dreams, where everything seems possible and everything has (possibly) another meaning, or maybe no meaning at all.
