Staring up at the sky
Everything starts to swirl
Time, space, reality even…
All flowing and growing into this one moment

Staring at the stars it all becomes clear
All what, I don’t know
But its become so clear
Transparent, invisible even
It’s the clarity of confusion

Its so late and yet so early
In the morning and in life
My outlook and future are bright
Even if I am so buggeringly oblivious
But I am not worried
Just enjoying the moment

I stand and I spin
Trying to absorb it all
Then slow to a stop
Facing away from my home
And I run, run and fly

But I quickly sputter to a stop
To what do I fly?
From what do I run?
Nothing…
In either direction there is nothing

I trudge my way home
I pick up my seat to head back inside
But I glance again at the sky
And am smiling anew
For it is still there
In its beauty and glory it has stayed me through this

As I turn to go in
Still grinning like a fool
I come to realize a few simple truths
And the knowledge I knew them all along

I know nothing
The future is coming
Be happy and have fun
For **** happens
But life is good
