classic rock solitude
Dream on.
I sat on the grassy hill behind building B thinking and taking in everything around me. I had Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, and CCR playing in my ears and I felt so serene and calm, more than I ever have before. The wind was blowing and the clouds in the sky were flowing on by. I just thought Wow, this is the truth. The sun was on it's way to it's final descent beyond the horizon. Sure wish I could tag along with it as it travels around the earth. Alas, the moon awaits, and the sun surely will return. That's all we can hope for, right? No matter what you're going through, what's going on in the world, or what lies ahead, you can always count on the sun to rise in the morning, and the moon to always be around. It's just that simple. Basic and simple. However, our lives are not; still, could there be a way to take all of life's complexity and make it simple? I think there could be. Strange how whenever I look at the sky I think of death for at least a second, then I take in it's awestruck beauty. I guess, to me, the sky is heaven--from the clouds, the sun, and the wind to the colors we notice at sunrise to sunset. It's all there. I don't know what my future holds, but hopefully whenever my time comes for me to leave this world, there'll be a vast sky for me to travel on. Life couldn't get any simpler than that. They can take everything away from me, just leave me with my heaven. Nobody's perfect, we all have our faults, but we all have our "heavens" to fall back on.
Dream on,
