Across from this municipality by the bay
I silently stand here?!
Looking deeply upon the open waters
Currents that make there way
Beyound the moon reflecting tide
The colourful lights....
Stillness drowns, the sounds all around
What a pretty montage, the skyline seems
Before my searching eyes, these images....
Turning inward, toward the depths of my mind
This quietness of floating, through time
With these metal laced wings
Weighing my spirit, to this place!
Caught within a world that I have never belonged....
But oh how it looks so lovely
Such portraits upon the wall
Except for these ones here In black pearl frames; blank....
Center stage; as they stare back at me
Fireflies with fangs, swarming above the waves
On their way atop the jangled, turbid turquoise sea
Towards the glitter and the dreams In the night time....
You stand there? Until one day you finally find
Reality....
Is but an illusion
Played amid varied and disappearing shells
This flicker of light; this vapor of sight
Beautiful chords of enticing pastel shades
Vanishing behind, a fog shroud mist....
These turning currents which
Sweep towards the disserting's despair
With invisible brush strokes; charcoal
Splashed upon this absorbing canvas
The crimson crawl; changelings, like a disease
Clinging shawls....
Turning bright to bitter red
While the concerto plays on, its joyous song
And metal laced wings, fall from me
Beyound the skydome, of tangible tides
As poison basted water lilies....
Beckoned beneath the solidago; smiling
Pointing to all their pretty pictures
Before the fireflies with sharpened fangs
Hung their veils....
Upon the black pearl frames; blank
Chanting their songs, alluringly, to them all
As the dashed of fallen things, fell; set my soul free
A new tune to compose, that shall never fade, away
While looking across the panthered purple waves, towards the city
Tides turning from arcane blue, unto another hue; Now rising....

I could look at a bay all day and not have your vision! Such turns of phrase "This flicker of light; this vapor of sight" "across the panthered purple waves"..from the veil to the powerful undertow!
I look forward to the 'new tune' you shall compose that shall never fade away'!
You have left a door ajar just enough to whet our appetites: What of the Red Rabbit, indeed!

Another exquisite work of art, beautiful imagery ,
This flicker of light this vapour of sight
Beautiful chords of enticing pastel shades
These turning currents which
Sweep towards the disserting's despair
