Jeff Skewes #4 Signal revised

In my journey's early days I looked for a 'spark' to take the fateful step, necessary to leave my island and commence my ramblings. After trying a few things I settled on a divine intervention as motivation. 

How could I, a novice, a beginner, a boy-man launch my own 'escape'...unless by fate

Aligned to a rare cosmic gateway

an apparition, a signal

a chance celestial slipstream

coupled to novice instincts

provokes motivation and desire

patience is always tricky,

made uneasy by muted perception

releases obscure navigational

and meta-physical

calculations

now five major planets

conjure a rarer alchemy

briefly suspending mirages

abstraction, geometry 

and another kinds of purity

providence a remedy

for some,

for others it would cause

activity

in the imagination

Draft 1.

Aligned to a rare cosmic gateway

this apparition

chance celestial slipstream

coupled its portal to relevant human instincts

motivations and desires

patience is always tricky

made uneasy by muted navigational

perceptions and obscure

meta-physic

calculations

now five major planets would

conjure a rare alchemy

briefly suspending the geometric mirage

for abstraction of another kind of purity

reason and purpose

providence a remedy

in the eye of the beheld

some resolve

for others it would cause activity in the imagination

and time to prepare
