Where to Compare With God

I saw the stars in dreams
I viewed the sun on a personal scale
and I awoke to a burning sensation
desire

I want to see god up close
to entertain a deities worth
then compare it to my own

forever is a definition of time
perception is times personal flow
but our god outside of time goes beyond forever

I flew with the red-winged black bird
to fall amongst mice in the shadows as prey
and I felt my heart fall behind me

I want to envision an immortals light
to try blocking its source
and get burned as the price

I want to test my luck
die by karma's smile
and rise in the broken ashes

black from creating the dark side of the moon
where I pulled out the famous mortal lights
 asking where God was shining

Aaron, this is by far your best piece you've written. Of course that's my opinion but I'm stickin' with it. Each stanza holds choice wording and I point out these as favorites:

"and I awoke to a burning sensation - desire"

"but our god outside of time goes beyond forever"

"and I felt my heart fall behind me"

"to try blocking its source
and get burned as the price"

"die by karma's smile
and rise in the broken ashes"

There is just so much I like about this. Good job my friend.
