One day in August 1987

I was 20 years old and Everything was Changing Fast
.
I rented a Room from a friend who's little House was setup as a Music Sound Studio

By day I studied Electronics and he worked as an Electronics Engineer with EMI Records

And by Night laid down and Mixed Tracks for a cheap price

The studio/house was always Abuzz with a Hive of Activity

People of all Kinds were always Coming and Going at all Hours
I
Enjoyed the Variety of Conversation and Philosophies

And more so the Technical aspects of Sound Engineering
------
One tired Evening as the Last Moments of Sunshine were Fading

Someone came into my Room whilst Napping in Twilight Half-Asleep

I could barely make out the Blur of their Moonlit Face

Their Tone, Calm, Androgynous neither Male nor Female

We spoke for what must have seemed like hours

With the gentle stroke of my forehead with the back of their soft hand

My Mind became a Vibrant visual Deamscape of Moving Images

Spiraling Colour, Exploding Patterns and Number Code

In One Vision I Saw the Sun's Halo Grow and Expand

Encapsulating Earth and the Rest of our Solar System

Like Bubbles within one Greater Bubble

Lining up like Nodes on the String of a Violin

I Heard the Planets Hum in Octaves and Overtones

The Sun as if Breathing-Inwards Drew back its Majestic Halo of Light

Until it became the Size of One Single Tiny Bright White Dot

And then Almighty Exploded into a never ending Sea of Fire Flies

Eternity became a Moment and a Moment Eternity

Like the Negative of a Photo Black was white and White was Black

Sound Shone as Coloured Light and Light Danced like a Sweet Melody

The Earth became as Air and the air as Fire

The Fire became the Breath of a newly formed Sun

I tried to Sit-up in an attempt to see their Face

With many Questions wanting to know where Earth had Gone

But they Gently pushed me down to Rest again and Said ...

"Hush ... when you Sleep you will Awaken"

"and when you Awaken you shalll Dream"

"And when you Dream you shall Live"

In a Loud Voice I said "But what of the Earth?"

They Continued ...

"Within the Entropy of Time ALL and Everything must Fall from Grace"

"But within the Space of Nothing you will ALL Turn your Face"

"The Space of Nothing will become Time as Time becomes Space"

"WHAT?" I Screamed ...
"CUT THE CRAP ... ANSWER ME ... WHAT OF THE EARTH? ... WHAT HAPPENED TO US?"

With a Smiling Voice they Said ...

"Shooosh ... Listen Carefully ... Can you not Hear the Trees and the Breeze of another Day"

"Can you not Feel the Touch of Grass under your Feet .... the Embrace of Crashing Ocean Waves ...
"
I couldn't Understand ... thinking Quietly to myself "What are they Talking about!"

Still unable to See beyond the Hazey blur of their Face

They bent down and Lightly Whispered into my Ear

My Ear could Feel the Air their Moving Lips Made 

But I had to Strain to Hear their Softly Spoken Words

They said ... "Can you not See ... Look ... Open your Eyes ... Awaken ..."

"You have now Become the Earth and She has become You"
------------
It was here I Awoke and Realised it was now Morning. I had Slept for well Over 12-hours

My house mate was already Up and in the kitchen making breakfast and brewing Coffee

I got Up and proceeded to Ask him if he knew who came into my Room last Evening

He explained that it was a relatively Quiet Evening and he did not See anyone Enter my Room
