Alternate realities
parallell linear mindset
Ego-less forays into
magical mysteries –
answers secondary
Float in ecstatic
ethereal landscapes
kaleidoscopic hues
Behold irrationality
a mad whirlwind of oneness
convening in momentary flash
The portal’s open
step aboard –
ensure your ticket
is round trip.
(For Eugi’s Weekly prompt: magic.
This is a rewrite of a poem formerly titled: Meet You At The Station.
Art my own.)
Wonderful! Magic doorways and portals have always piqued my imagination more than many other fantasy tropes. Thank you for contributing to that oeuvre.

The contrast of the kaleidoscopic color and light in the image with the woman’s blank white face is particuarly striking–confirming the need for the return ticket of the poem.

This is both so fun and deep. I love the line, “answers secondary” and the round-trip ending was clever.
