A picture
Enlarged
Exposed
Washed and Dried
Fixed in my mind


Three hours on the court
Sweating under the sun


Looking past the goal line
I see only stars


On the bench I close my eyes
And see the summer sky
Sparklers and fire crackers swirl


In my mind’s eye
Kaleidoscope colors spin
Visual textures beyond velvet
Call me to a deeper existence within

Through the tunnel into a dark cave
Prisoners sit chained to a wall
Shadows dance by the fire light


Even in chains
We can see black and white
But one sees colors out of sight


Cosmic dust causes me to sneeze
A rainbow of shooting stars
Sparkling in my brain


I am in a thermosphere
Free from the prison of gravity
Lightning storms dare follow me


In complete darkness
The organic symphony of yellow and pink
Aqua interludes with celestial blues


My mind’s eyes open to hear these words,
“Let there be light”
Out of darkness
Light
Exposes
Creates
Dances
And
Forms
In the retina
Of his eyes
