BEYOND INSANITY
There’s a line in the sand, but hard to see
Upon crossing it, another universe awaits
No longer the safe logic offering crutches
Just the new and strange lingering touches
But then, has one really tempted the fates
This is the alternate world beyond insanity
One may at first be feeling alone and lost
Yet soon a new reality assumes normality
With a view of before like the fourth wall
Looking at an audience, applauding it all
It feels like a theatre in some odd locality
Now remember that line that was crossed
With a brain somehow working overtime
Juggling all that’s fake and what was true
All that went before, was a mere fantasy
With its filing cabinet mis-labelled sanity
Now only unanswered queries can accrue
In-trays with verses that no longer rhyme
Looking back to check a line in the sand
Runs the high risk of dramatic realisation
A future exclusively to tread the boards
With bad performance receiving awards
This new identity should be a revelation
It’s a future that one cannot understand
The gap in the fence is narrow, not wide
Now even the past appears quite strange
Yet this is the present, and one of many
For the ferryman, hold on to this penny
So just wait now, for the light to change
Then I’ll be seeing you on the other side
