Just beyond the Border,
Of your Waking Mind,
There lies a Place,
A Time,
a Space…
Hold your Breath.
Make a Wish.
Grasp a Dream.
Indulge Desire.
Come with me,
And you’ll see,
That this is not,
Some Wild Imagination,
No mere Fantasy.
There is no Mere here,
No careless Fancy,
Nothing to Fear.
This is Something else:
The After This World!
This world is Troubled,
Bubbled, Boiled,
Unsteady, Unsettled,
Take my Hand,
and close your Eyes,
Breathe deep
the Gathering Gloam.
Open that Door
within your Mind;
Where your Heart in Silence Yearns.
Is there a Realm
as Vast as Space,
as Timeless as Infinity?
For Dreams that
Might Have been,
And Regrets borne of Sins?
Let us Travel together,
To the Edge beyond the Shore,
To that Place deep Within,
Where Darkness,
and Light,
are One.
Upon an Ocean of Shadow and Substance,
Against Storms of Mirth and Madness,
Upon a Ship of Dreams and Ideas,
With Winds of Sight and Sound.
Twixt Smoke and Mirrors,
Third Star to the Left,
Move on through the Dawn
Beyond lies a Brave New World.
We must Cross the Veil,
Go Beyond the Pale.
Ask not how much of your Mind is left,
Ask yourself what Wonders rest ahead.
Such Never-ending Happiness,
Where you can always see the sun,
Day or Night?
Or a Bitter and Sallow world,
Where you long to see the Sun,
In Darkness and Screams?
Only You can Unlock this Door.
Use that Key forged from
Heart and Soul and Yearning,
Ring the Bell,
Turn the Key,
And you’ll See…
Not an Ending,
Simply a Beginning,
A Shining,
A Sparkling.
A World of its Own,
A world much like Home,
Yet always Know:
That in This place,
Things are much Harder,
Here in the
After That World.
Cause in This Life,
You’re On Your Own.
