ive come to this point before.
many times before.
each time ive looked over the edge.
and say to myself
"wow, look at that.
huh..."
and then, without fail,
my attentions been caressed by the indifference of it all.
the leap is possible but is a crawl more comfortable?
stand up strong
with the unstoppable power of intent
and declare to the heavens
this is it
i dont care
what happens
for how long
i will be proud
of my life, myself
that one thing
simple as it is
separates the divine from the barren and hollow
i feel the sparks of this new life
this new person
flickering faintly
underneath it all
all the soiled, crude, and tarnished
experiences people left for me
it caught the corner of my eye from afar
and i came upon it
barely visible
but curious
what is this?
whats hidden from the world?
what secrets do you hold?
what are you?
this thing i believe, we need the most
i take a closer look
inspect and examine it
look for any clues
i cant find any
its mysterious
cloudy
unrevealing
with its cooling and calming frame i grasp the thing
its vibrancy tucked away
but not for long
for i, being intrigued as i am,
must know
so like the ancient workman
i put my hands to use
after some time
i see pillars, cornerstones, anchors of old start to weaken
they split, crack, fall away
from the toils of sweat, blood, and tears
from the persistence of tenacity
from the promise of hope
from the calling one feels
from the animal raging inside
from the capacity to get back up
from the power to never ever EVER give up
from the actions one takes
from the better one feels
from the good one spreads
from the joy that are these
most precious treasures of all
(most of society is a negative feedback loop dependent on itself to continue, in essence, doing nothing)
ps - classic rock ballads = GREATEST CD EVER!
