Reality vs Illusion

When you look down a steep drop to the bottom,
You wonder if you could test reality,
Like the unreal Vanilla Sky,
If you hurdled yourself down
Would it all just skip a beat
And start to rewind?
In the dark I took that test by accident.
Mixed with a month of morphine,
Reality has never seemed the same.

Scent

Young buck; little antlers
Stepped deliberately,
Picking his way in slow motion
Through the wood,
Finding his way to the man-path\
Stopped,
Lifted his nose in the air,
Like picking an apple,
Sniffed, and finding the smell
of man,
Hurried on.

What to do

"I am trying to figure out what God wants me to do", I said with a twist of angst.
My dear friend leaned across the table, dangerously close to his butter-nut soup
With the red pepper and slice of pineapple and responded,
"That is only a problem because you forget that you are God".
