What have you done with your Life? If it was to end tomorrow..Would've it been a Life to remember?
When all who have gathered as friends, foes and or lovers--Would you try to pretend..Offer up a
prayer of thanks, an ode to be so genuine..A fake smile on your sweet lips or are you just some
lunatic? I've got the soul of a child--Would you hold my hand and help me to weather the storm?
Seems to me that there's always trouble brewing on every horizon..from sea to sea, surf to sand,
concrete to asphalt and that we're always just out of reach..the goal, the minute grain of sand
between your toes..every hand shake and every broken nose--A forgotten epitaph on a stone of
granite, amongst the many departed ones who have gone before us--Are they the ones who call us?
Beckoning forth to join them in an etherial realm of nothingness? To embrace Death, yet still so
willing to be amongst the living..to feel the sunshine, the warmth upon your skin..to hear the
birds sing their morning decree--The gratification of helping a total stranger..The comfort I feel
when you lay naked next to me..Of peanut butter and butter sandwiches..Of being behind the wheel
of a large automobile..and just being amazed at how Life tends to unfurl and how fast time goes
by..with each and every passing moment..Be it of joy or pain..happiness or sorrow..apprehension
and relief..One day I'm a prince, the next day I'm a thief..a beggar, a social commentator--
I've tasted the apple, the fruit of the forbidden tree, The serpent, I have rode upon his shiny
scaled back..It's what has brought you to me..can't you see? That a thousand bursting Suns..that
two become one and the seed that has been planted from an acorn turns into a mighty oak tree-
Provides much needed shade for you and for me..The gross mistake many seem to make is simply
failing to be awake..And not knowing when to partake and to see that with every missed
opportunity and every heart ache..that if given the chance we could turn a bad into a good and
that it was once said,"Strength through Joy" will make us prosper..is it a reflection you see
or is it pride that mocks me? Time goes by thusly..and many who have tried seeking answers from
hollow men, shadows of heart and green sine waves again..the questions arrive like paper on fire
that rise to the sky..To stand upon the shoulders of agony and see the stars come out at night..
To gaze in wide-eyed wonder and see with eyes wide-shut..If I told you you could fly and gravity
is but a lie..and two plus two equals five..Would you believe me? Wouldn't you miss me when I
die? That for every door that closes, surely many more shall open..That your eyes still can't
see..You have legs, but cannot walk..lips that move, but still cannot talk..and the feelings
you feel are made everso real..dreams do come true..underneath the pale Moon sky and we all
look the same when day turns to night and the Sun turns out it's light..Angels take flight and
with it all my cares of the world vaporize and rise to the sky..like so many truths turned into
lies..every nuance of energy every snap shot of memory for every phase in Life and every
direction it seems to take me..When ice melts it turns to water..when a puppy gets older it's
called a dog..Twelve months is called a year..and seconds turn to minutes..and so on and so
forth..The one thing in Life that is constant is change..and with it new meanings and definitions--
For with change comes evolution..and new and better solutions..Times change, but still people
remain the same..ruled by emotions..driven by their passions..seeking answers to questions that
always fall short of breath that turn into whispers that echo in our heads..For some, madness..
and others a genius to possess..a lament a daydream..unsettled and never at rest..And as the
clouds pass over and I turn to look over and see with my own two eyes..that a storm is about
to change the evenings sky..into a blanket, a dark cloak if you will, over this fair country
side..A breeze picks up and I feel the cold wind blow and day slowly turns into night..And I'm
left here all alone in the dark twilight..where mysteries are revealed in darkness, where the
truth always has to hide..So what would move your world in the direction to set your minds and
hearts free? Some say truth, some say religion, some say God is just fiction..Those slow to
believing what is commonly held as truth are indeed on the path of wisdom..Question the rights
and wherefores of others..Doubt is what makes it into history's pages..So the prevailing winds
that blow course through my veins and surely when the world runs out of time each and everyone
of us will see the Dawn's early gate and the stars that shine..Forthwith and asunder to and fro
makes my heart ache..always yearning for just one more tomorrow..Treading water as the Moon
pulls back the tide..I can see the jelly fish and all the things money can't buy..After all,
we all live on borrowed time..living from moment to moment a simple nursery crime--Heads roll into
the hole we call time..and the reverse is so true..So kind of you to bring me flowers..I never
knew..I was too busy wondering what to do..with so many grande plans and Life's overture so soon
plays out of tune..He never knew what he missed..a sad misfortune that grips us all at Death..
The things you never learned at school..they taught you to hate what was different..to scold
creativity..and to throw away all of your childish ways..to grow-up quick and breed a new batch,
for what reason? for what purpose? School never taught us this..You can gaze into the heart of
the Sun..chase the stars that come out and play and wonder are there others like you..Thinking
the same thoughts..In some far away galaxy..I'm sure..If given the chance we'd all be happy
naked in the jungle..swinging from trees and eating bananas all day..But, unfortunately modern
day society must have it's way..To rule and to control man-kinds destiny..Conform to the Edicts
of our Caesar..And remember not to step out of line..You can fly so high..but, ultimately you must
come down my son..your waxed wings will soon melt the brighter your Life becomes..Escape from
prison to person and a person from a prison will tell you that freedom is an illusion..And that
in Death we are all equal..Although some of us leave prettier corpses behind..So, you might ask,
"Is it all in vain?" "Is it all some unnecessary chore?" Why even walk out the front door?
Time waits for no man, surely all can see this..or am I the only one? Watching the Sun go down
as day turns into night..and "good people" get some well deserved rest..and never question, and
never look up, and to suffer quietly and know that God and Death are one..Why some have Silver
and Gold and others have padlocks on their souls..And many who have tried to climb that
mountain that reaches up into the sky..And the few that have made it look down and proclaim,
"The World is Hollow..and we're all insane..!"
