Did I see…did I reckon…did I recognise?: A poem 

Did I see you move into the night, knocking at 

the sky and becoming one with the universe? 

Did I feel that odd fusion cast its colours over me 

that I should believe and hope? Even as I were 

a large magnetar, collapsing within itself 

for you, all the sound and light becoming a 

mere whisper of dissolving energy particles in the eventuality! 

And should I then muster up again, speed, so much like a sparkler  

in the blackhole of disillusionment, but with resilience, and rustle  

up mass to become a gigantosphere again, to match you and  

meet you stride for stride? Did I live eternally for this – 

passing the seeming Rubicon, and then ending up 

behind it once again? To cluster up again. Like the 

universe asks for my death, yet wants my life; like  

I am a prisoner perpetually caught between the tides  

of space-time. Should you sweep all the strings of the universe 

so that there are no longer twelve dimensions to  

confound our loyalties, no more a multi-layered democratic contest,  

no more sides to take, but like a lace that is 

thrown open to the dead-end choice of me, picking up whichever 

loose end I choose to, for it only to become an  

eternal gift of restitution; and not one of eternal death and defeat!

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
