Mirage Kingdom

Fallin', tripping, and flying,

Trying to get a grip on reality,

As you fall into a swirling blue portal

The mind starts spiralling,

As flowers engulf your vision

Sensation hits your body like water,

Tapping the beach on the shoulder

Not an utterance of discontentment,

Just crashing into nirvana

Then the ground appears

As if it was always there,

Your vision clears but there's a filter,

Like you are dreaming,

Seeing turquoise fields and every species of tree,

As you walk around slowly,

Touching and breathing in everything

Fruits don't have any bruises,

The snapdragons smell delicious

Your senses are hazy but still working,

It occurs to you that this is like Eden,

But a tad different,

There's an artificial element,

You are here but you don't exist

A mirage, a faultless illusion,

Kingdoms built from delusion,

Of a perfect experience,

An idea plucked from your head,

Plop! An orange falls onto you,

Breaking the rumination,

Whilst you let paradise consume your existence,

Stepping away as you let go of your suspicion,

Your body lays on the ground

Broken beneath the apple tree of an orchard

Forever sleeping, living in a dreamland.
