I.O.T.A. - Need

i had this dream last night

dream.

do you still dream?

sometimes i do.

must be a glitch in the program

it’s like my mind is trying to balance itself out

so what of this dream?

i dreamt this pillar of thick darkness descending through the universe

it was dense and flowing but at the same time solid enough to touch

it was clear to me that it was made of the

same fabric feelings and thoughts are made of.

are you high?

no but i so wish i were.

now there is a part of you i could live without.

why is getting high such a bad thing anyway?

if it was so bad they would call it low

you are thinking with your brain again

you’re right i’am sorry.

growing up i was convinced that smart was the thing to be

the dream darling.

the dream.

oh yes.

this pillar of darkness was

descending in a straight line through the universe

but there are no straight lines in the universe, remember?

uncle albert proved so long long time ago.

could i just…

of course.

i' am procrastinating again

so this pillar of darkness it was descending and then at

this odd time space moment it rusted in a giant goblet of light

i could feel the darkness pushing trying to

pierce through the light but it just couldn’t

the light wasn’t trying to push back though.

it just stood there all calm and vibrating ceaselessly

the collision produced this starry blood red

dust which was slowly spreading all over the place

some of it eventually reached me and i

noticed it emitting this peculiar noise

there is no sound in the universe silly.

the big bang and all happened in complete silence

and yet there was sound.

there was a very precise one for that matter.

it was this ongoing e minor cord.

i could still hear it ringing in my head

then the dust and the noise drifted away and i

turned and saw it flying to this old barren planet

and by some miracle the moment the dust

touched the surface of the planet it became alive

forests and oceans and glaciers and

mountains emerged out of the nothingness

and animals all sorts of them

people

and then i knew

this dust was the lifeblood of this planet and of all planets

thoughts and feelings filtered through light give us life

life in e minor

love

why do you burden yourself with such things

all i see here is sophistry mixed with a bit of surrealism

surrealism?

oh come on.

you know that…

but where were you then?

i mean where were you sitting to be able to see all this?

make no mistake.

there is no seat to the universe.

you are right.

there is no seat in the universe and if there ever was

it has been empty for millennia and is absolutely

impossible for me to have been able to see all these things

but for all it’s worth for that brief

subtle moment i think that i was the universe

you think you were the universe?

come now give us a kiss and turn of

the light and put your darkness to sleep

don’t you ever remember your dreams?

no not.

for a long time i haven’t.

but what did you dream of when you could still remember?

can’t be sure but i was dreaming of freedom…
