Purpose

Who are you, my friend?
Do you know?
With all your soul
With all you know

As sure as your heartbeats
Why you’re here

Let’s know with the flow
When to let go
How to touch, how to free
When we fly away to see?

Veil

Let’s draw a thick b͟l͟a͟c͟k͟ ͟l͟i͟n͟e͟
Death on zero
Life on one
Do you feel the setting sun?

What is life without death?
Here it comes, the final breath
We never know
We never see

Passing time, so gracefully

Wait

I learned something
In a rush

NO
Don’t do it
Who will stop us?

With seconds to spare
Let’s turn around
Who are we?
Wait for it…

Everyone, that’s who.

Inconceivable

Who believes in anything except God?
Religion holds the truth
Science is a passing fancy
Or so they say…

Scientists and scholars build our tools
Priests and politicians
With their wicked ways
Use our tools against us

Up is down
Down is up
Our society is inside out
Can we save us from ourselves?

Tribal leaders beat their drums
Red-faced and sweating
Militias ready for battle
Bullets and time are running out

...

Reach

My youth was spent running away from it
I spend my adulthood reaching for it
It’s an elusive feeling

It’s a vibrant waterfall that washes my soul
Gentle and soothing, it revives me
Like hope, in a bottle

It’s a day of restfulness, a night of perfect sleep
It’s like waking up with no alarm
I’m ready for anything
I’m ready to reach
