Thin Shells

Within thin shells of identity
we long for distant echoes
from tightly wrapped infinities
surrounded by curved mirrors of perception
reflecting the essence of vision
endlessly greeting itself
in a babble of eternity.

Turning with no direction
we see only contradiction
adding to itself
that which is of itself:

The reflection travels on 
an unmeasured ether
in a deep devoid of measure;

Assigning visions to a darkness rejected
we see opposites abound,
and yearn for the light
of a day that knows no night.

Christ nailed to a cross,
smiles at his situation,
hopes no one misunderstands:
He has other places to go.
