I am allowed a look under the veil
behind the scenes of infinity
a cosmic kaleidoscope opens behind my eyelids
each fractal more beautiful to behold than the last
spinning and twisting out self similar patterns
reds, greens, violets and blues
a breathtaking iteration feedback loop
unfolding and multiplying down an endless tunnel
silent visual music playing out the song of the universe
in this dreamworld of sonorous solitude
I understand the connection of things
