Cosmic Creature

by Sam M. Phillips

Supernatural brain freeze,

I seize the opportunity

To express empathy

For cosmic creature,

The constant feature

Of my dreams

That screams

For existence.

.

Its persistence

Doesn’t provide me a chance

To ignore it,

But I’m all for it,

So it doesn’t matter,

I let it splatter

Metaphysical matter

Across my brain.

.

It’s all the same

To me, I see

Things like this every day,

Hear it play

Some existential tune,

Referential rune

It displays in heat,

Feel the sequence complete.

.

Neat rows

Of all that glows,

Grows through my attention,

Lives through my action,

Law of attraction

Brings it into being,

Fleeing before darkness,

Distress to be alone.

.

Hear the tone

Of its many colours,

Smell the contours

Of its inter-dimensional shape,

Feel it drape

A thick cloud around

Everything it’s found

To cling onto.

.

It’s inside you,

Sticks like glue,

Now two

Become one,

All is done,

I hope you had fun

Creating a new entity

That now lives in your mind.
