Just A Little Higher....

I stared into the mirror
and  a million moments at once seemed to pass...
As the sky...
the sun....and
The moon... all faded away...
I wondered if I was dreaming...
lucidly while standing in my bathroom.

My face...began to fade...then shimmer
as stars fell behind me on a hill...
In a place that was familiar....yet
so far away...

As I watched
I longed to be where ever this place was
So I reached my hand out....hoping
to penetrate the veil between the worlds....
As vapors of orange and magenta swirled and blended
into the background...

It was as If I could hear voices calling me...
yet....my fingers met the glass as a new harsh reality
settled in....
I was not allowed entry...

It felt like a million more minutes passed
as I concentrated and focused my energy
to make me materialize inside this space....

Now a cold sweat has taken over my euphoria...
As the scene before me fades...
My heart is breaking....as I fear I will
never see or witness such perfection again...

Now those distance voices are louder
as I realize they are coming from the other side
of the bathroom door....

"Kandi, what the fuck are you doing in there?!"
I hear my friend's voice calling to me...
seems like she is in a tunnel.... her voice
is still too far away....

I am still to dissapointed and heart broken
to even answer her as the vision of the world on the other
side of the mirror begins to
shimmer and fade like ripples in water....
Some how...I open the door....
and she burst in....eyes wide...
as I am sitting serenely on the edge of the bath tub
rolling a joint of this HYDRO....

I realized...That hit of acid I did....was not enough

I couldnt get through the doorway....
I smiled...as I thought about it...

Just a little higher....

"Shut the door so we can hot box!" I told her.
I couldnt wait....
to look in the mirror again.
Later on.
