swish swish crack swish
my jaded experience told me I’d seen this all before
I desperately wished for fresh eyes
unhappily searching for the source of happiness
the blackjack dealer known as fate sometimes deals us a card
when we already have 21
the fire that had burned so strongly
had gone out with the inevitable passing of time
I was all right with it - it was time to relax
shortcuts to success often prove to be a most treacherous path
I’d taken my share of mine; cutting corners with dull scissors
I had a mind to do something, but my other mind convinced me otherwise
I can find harmony in a bunch of rocks on the ground
peace is a field of amber grain dancing in the summer breeze
rain and snow cheer me up but sunshine depresses me
found many friends among the trees and their beautifully colored leaves
I wanted to hug every one of them
stumbled upon my soul and it was filled with breathtaking wilderness
getting lost in the forest seemed like the only hope for lasting happiness
I held my spirit in my hands like it was a small bird ready to fly
the universe has never been a stranger to me
enjoyed the song of a quiet autumn day
drank until I can’t see the eye chart of reality straight
got along with the truth but was in love with illusion
the bear was stalking me and all I could think of was love
my body felt the cold outside, but more accurately the cold felt me
tried to remember that there was a time when I too was young
had an understanding that I didn’t understand at all
so I no longer concerned myself with it
look around you and you see scraps of wisdom blowing in the streets
my mountain has always been what I was taught growing up
the forest gave me a warm hug and told me that it was going to be okay
all I had now was a memory and this moonlight
