Comatic Synthesis: Ascension

from The Crescent Sun by The Collective Unconscious

/

lyrics

“I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?”
I awake to the sound of crashing waves,
no sense of purpose, out of place, out of name.
There is only the sky and earth below me,
the sea stretched in my vision, seemed an eternity.
When will this madness end?
As soon as I become conscious sleep returns again.


(with excerpts from Edgar Allan Poe’s "A Dream Within a Dream")
