I went on a relaxing drive that evening I saw the man in the second floor of his expensive home
This memory so clear
Some are tuned in to the television
I am tuned in to Earth
I will often drive my car Observing, listening A man on his rocking chair In his living room An old woman makes her way through the kitchen A woman pulls up to her home
These are all scenes Memories in my mind And they are mine I keep the times
Mother earth Ancient mother
This planet is a great mystery This life is like a waking dream
I walk alone
The seeker The keeper For what I am seeking I do not know I do not think it can be found on Earth
The keeper of the times
Reach out to me Squeeze my hand Yes, its nice to be touched sometimes
Or perhaps a friendly hug
This life is quite lonely Nobody told me I am learning that for myself
The therapist I doubt she understands She is kind But I doubt she understands
Perhaps I will go on a walk Up that street To the Iron Gates Of The Monastery
Wandering, wandering More times I am keeping the times
Observing, watching, listening There is a great beauty In this way
And I am so tired It must be life that makes me eternally tired On and on I walk Thousands of miles
I would only ask for a bit of bread perhaps Or a cup of water
I am a kind hearted soul I will compliment you
Yes there is not enough time Only time for love Love overcomes all
All my friends are successful And they have their money And their career
My friend seemed annoyed when I called him As if I was bothering him It's okay It's no problem
I am not rich I do not have a girlfriend I do not have many friends
But I have the times I have learned to enjoy the times This is all I have right now
I enjoy the big picture That is why I go on my drives That is why I go on my walks
Strange, how I can only be in one place at one time Taking pictures with my mind
I am an earth body I have a sense for things A sense for the situation I am watching Yes I am watching
Earth is a strange and mysterious place Can you hear my hiking sticks hitting the pavement on the street? The times, the times, I love the times Here I come I am the keeper
