A mountain would I climb
To look out o’er the world
And watch the flow of time
As fates became unfurled
Its peaks would I ascend
To see the greater tale
The means to ev’ry end
Pull back the cloudy veil
Alas that such a dream’s for naught
In these dimensions three
For though to be as such it ought
I wish diff’rent for me
Give us truths in stone
Give us wisdom ages old
Give us knowledge passed down
Give us tools to know wrong from right
None will matter without sense
I oft go wand’ring in this wond’ring mind
And seek out truths that do elude me so
And though seldom can I indeed truth find
Such hard-won wisdom is a prize to know
What rage has Earth for we
Who tread upon her?
About my mind build
A bridge to distant places
That I might see them
In the wind the trees sway like always
The sky’s painted with blues and greys
The birds chirp and sing
The grasses peck at my toes
Like always
And all the while
Places worlds away
Knock, knock on my mind
And my mind and my eyes
Cannot agree
Like a seed it grows and blossoms
Like the wind it tickles my skin
Like the sun it melts my heart
Like the night, it calms my soul
Swirling time knocks on my window
Pecking like a bird with a seed
Incessant
Unyielding
Asking: when?
And when the raging torrent of time
Passes by
Winding before you
Roaring about you
Step in
The heart beats quiet
Longing for the sun to shine
Waiting in shadows
