Even flow, thoughts
arrive like Butterflies
Oh, he don't know, so he
chases them away
Someday yet, he'll begin
his life again
Life again, life again...
~Pearl Jam
Like always,
I was thinking about the times long
gone
tree that still stands there and so does the
rising Sun
still so fresh, animatedly etched in my
memory
but good way off my reach on the
contrary
those suspended times I often go back to
to school arcade, nigh park or my
college street
Like always,
I was thinking about the times ahead too
if truth said I don't have much to tell
you
explorin' heterogeneity of my oneiric
world
feelin' the ceilings, measuring how
vast they will be
familiar faces smiling, fortifying every turn
while I keep swimmin' uncharted
territories
I don't have to think about present
times
not much juggling with reason nor with
rhymes
do what I got to do, stroll, jog or run
fast
winds of every season past, all mixed at one
good times wrapped along rough times
feathering sharp edges moments of fun
It takes more than just efforts,
sometimes
flow isn't always so even, oddities stretched
along the tracks, debris obstructing
the flow of rain, left alone, I alone sloppy
and enraged
I do what anybody would do, actions-
reactions
without much ado
Behind you can see, ahead you can guess, but have to live in the present or life can become a mess.
ReplyDeletesurely does becomes a mess if we do otherwise :)

Deletefirst, pearl jam---one of the best bands of all times....ha
ReplyDeleteits funny to me the whole NOW movement, i bought it
but it just seperates what can not be...
our past present and future in one
ignore any and we are out of balance
live in any disregarding the others we are out of balance
agreed.. pearl jam is Best among all
