I'VE STILL GOT INFINITY AHEAD OF ME

“And the Universe, she's whispering so softly I can hear all ...”

THE UNIVERSE – GREGORY ALAN ISAKOV

 

Imagine what it's like

to have a photographic memory

to record the smallest details

the pain and loss of you and me

 

Imagine if you will

what it's like to live like me

a walking, talking history book

recorded for posterity

 

Imagine if you really need

to switch off all your thoughts

to seek that great elusive silence

it can be learned; be taught

 

Imagine though if you were me

unable to cancel out

every tiny little thing

good and bad; I want to shout

 

Imagine what it's like to be me

to hear; to see; to feel too much

to wander in the wilderness

without your tender touch

 

Imagine if you will awhile

the noisiest place on earth

a cacophony of the loudest sounds

since the time of my rebirth

 

Imagine waiting in the darkness

for light to shine on you

reflecting all your hopes and dreams

all the things you want to do

 

Imagine feeling intense pain

seeing kaleidoscopes of colour

so vivid; writhing snake-like visions

no comfort found in one and other

 

Imagine the intensity of loneliness

greater than you feel now

so fragile; so exquisite; so misunderstood

and then imagine how

 

It is possible to exist this way

it takes strength of will; resolve

I will always seek the stillness

to be alone; at peace; evolved.
