Like an incantation the lights flicker
Smiley faces pasted on frowns like a sticker
Wild hearts beating to the sounds of a drum
Building up resentment like tension in a gun
Holding onto peace til' the sun does fade
Finally having freedom from pain in the shade
Confusion at these words that constantly digress
For the truth hidden in plain sight interests
Sometimes the mystery is not what we seek
But how it's message was hidden vivid yet oblique

If you could see sky in it's entirety all day you would see the world differently
Watching the stars, as if they stand still and we rotate towards them
Like the galaxy is an amusement park and our planet is holding us like a Ferris Wheel seat
See as the clouds surround the trees above, like fog, then disperse just the same
On a clear day look above
You can see that the world is round, the curvature is captivating
At first sight it seems like where we stand in this life is an epiphany
A sudden realization that just a slightly different perception of your surroundings
Can alter your state of mind in such a beautiful and peaceful way
Look at our oceans, fierce, clashing, and unforgiving
You'd never know in person that above the clouds you would see just the same
If truly you could witness all this beauty
Even think of the world differently
Would you function any other way than you do now
Could this raw beauty truly do anything for you in any way at all
Probably not
But wouldn't you still want to see it
Replacing this subject of talk changes nothing here
Money, Power, Fear, Love, even Hatred are second place finishers
Curiosity will always be the one controlling your brain
