Whistling, wandering in the twilight
Closed, forbidden, straining for pure light,
Longing for flight

Dreams that haunt,
Making the present oblong,

Give me flight, give me reign, give me freedom,
but oh so grave,
Equal parts fear, equal parts need,
Strange this devouring new greed.

Do you live in a race, or must you race to live?
Do you enjoy your waters, or are you a pet fish?
If we sprang forth from the earth and grew unheeded,
Uncurbed, but never needed,
Would we have been better at living?

Is it better to have it done, or should you do it yourself,
At what point do you enjoy your fantasies, better than not being able to see?
Should the life of mankind be inevitable?
Maybe it already is. Maybe all this is a distraction

But again, the struggle, as they say, is real
Living is fighting, the wars, the battles, are not surreal.
For in every human being, there is something you conceal.
If we are atoms that science seeks to break down,
As like the seconds, minutes, hours are meant just for us.
And bigger things observe it as such.

Not to be mistaken for the snow globe scenario,
But instead likened to the trillion or so cells, that are observed,
in the human being.

In such hopes as dreams long,
In such waters as swim the fish

In woods that animals roam
In caves where bears list

Do you flock the rivers in time?
And all the harvests that would thrive?

Desires locked in the dim recesses of your mind?


Walk the roads, but leave the droves
Live the day, eat the hay!

Then feast your mind and think in the night.


^^
Are they challenges, or do you see them as redress,
Why is it that new attitudes give thee stress?
Perception management is key.
As you might assess the air that comes into your nose, do not only breathe.
There are many matters in the air around us. Remember that, but we do not see.

To go through the paces, rediscover what you know
To walk barefoot in cold waters, risk the ***** that makes you bow.
