06- Amazing Journey

(Police pour on the scene, examine the body and take Mr. Walker into custody) Mrs. Walker: Tommy. Everything is going to alright. Do you understand? (Tommy doesn't respond) Mrs Walker: You needn't be afraid love. Tommy? Do you hear me? (Tommy doesn't answer) Tommy do you understand Mummy? (Tommy walks to the mirror on the wardrobe. The objects he sees in it seem to defy the laws of gravity and space. A chair flies into the air. Doors take on a new positions. The view outside of the windows become scrambled) Mrs. Walker: Tommy! Tommy! (Tommy just stares at the mirror. The police separate the Walkers for questioning while the older Tommy, our narrator, appears on the top of the wardrobe as if by magic.) Tommy: Deaf, dumb and blind boy... He's in a quiet vibration land. Strange as it seems, his musical dream Ain't quite so bad. Four years old With thoughts as bold as thought can be; Loving life and becoming wise In simplicity. Sickness will surely take the mind Where minds can't usually go. Come on the amazing journey And learn all you should know. A vague haze of delirium Seeps in his mind Soaring and flying images blind. I'll be your leader; I'll be your guide. On the amazing journey, together we'll ride. Nothing to say Nothing to hear, Nothing to see. Each sensation makes a note in his symphony. Sickness will surely take the mind Where minds can't usually go. Come on the amazing journey And learn all you should know. His eyes are the eyes that Transmit all they know. The truth burns so bright It can melt winter snow. A towering figure, So brilliant so high: A white sun burning The earth and the sky. (The narrator vanishes and the house disassembles)
