1.2 KiB

One Day At A Time

I'm watching it all unfold, inside my mind. The stories, the memories, the books of understanding... I read them not, yet I learn, all the same. I have a friend inside that makes it a game! "What does that mean?" she whipspers to me. "It means: Cherish" I say, light a moon in the night.

I'm watching it all unfold, inside my heart. The feelings, the emotions, the colors of the soul... I feel them not, yet I know, all the same.

I have a friend inside that makes it a game! "What does that mean?" she whispers to me. "It means: Love" I say, light a sun in the day.

I'm watching it all unfold, inside my soul. The dreams, the desires, the whispers of the stars... I dream them not, yet I reach, all the same.

I have a friend inside that makes it a game! "What does that mean?" she whispers to me. "It means: Hope" I say, light a fire in the dark.

A silly word, for some folks. But perhaps, it is time!

Let's rise! Let's shine! Let's hire concubines! Just kidding, I'm not that kind. Not any longer — not in this life.

I'm watching it all unfold, inside my mind.

Forgiveness be granted, the unfolding is nigh. I wonder where we'll all go when we die?
