Sideways To Paradise

Sideways To Paradise

Half-blinded by visions my mind projects,
which define perfect world of daily life
I wish to construct through creative action,
I race through the labyrinth of the world
to participate in game of success,
bumbling my way sideways to paradise.

Hitchhiking from Seattle to Miami,
I climb the bright Montanas Colorados
where Onatah appears to me in dream
of thunderstorm over the mountain peaks
and teaches me how to chant magic spells,
navigating sideways to paradise.

Across the waste land of the nameless world
I walk beside the shadow of myself
and listen to the whisper of despair
explaining secrets of the bleak abyss
where I plant seeds I stole from Tree of Life,
crawling thirsty sideways to paradise.

When I comprehend the dust in the wind
the horse with no name appears from the mist
so we race to the sea beach where Death waits
to play chess for the true soul of the world
before I reign at the apocalypse,
crowned the fool in sideways to paradise.
