Apples for Oranges

You've become unaware of the power
that the mind holds over perception
we stood on a milky savannah
with a crumpled map and a thirst for movement
and looked up just in time
to catch the end of huxleys flare
sliding like red paint down a canvas littered with stars.
you have forgotten that unknowns are controlled by fear
and have become afraid.
Dip your finger over the side of the boat
draw a line to my heart
a line that divides whtat you knew from what you know
where you've been from where you're going
it doesn't matter what lies on either side of it
so long as it leads to me
don't give up
don't get distracted by those things perifpheral
and try to remember
that in the beginning....

Even Newtons laws needed proving.
