One percent

The goal is a hundred, but I want less.

Less of what others desire, and more of what I require.

One percent of the human condition that only the rare, wounded and gifted experience;
and even for them – only in the safety of their dreams.

A crude and fantastic earthly existence,
where flesh is indistinguishable from energy and thought; yours and mine.

The final mile of space and existence;
void of time and other un-worldly expectations set upon us by the other ninety-nine percent.

I want the one percent I’m never supposed to know,
let alone ask for or dare have.

I desire one percent of the time,
impossible, all the time.

A life of my choosing and manifestation,
where I lead with my heart and breathe slowly within storms and battles so fierce,
civilizations would cease to exist when they finally come to rest.

And yet,
here I remain.

More glorious than ever,
amidst all the devastation that befalls me.

For those that desire the same,
I invite you to my fire of illusion.

My one percent.
