Sunsets, waterfalls, and moonbeams
Sunsets, waterfalls, and moonbeams
Billions of lives
Simultaneously happening, unaware of each other
Only the world sees us, or the Universe
Ants with purpose, mucking about
Pushing dirt, carrying drama and pretenses
Step back and be silent, watch,
The world doesn't stop because we do, because we are all a part of the dance, not just dancers.
Children at play in the world
We come and go
Along patterned lives
While the sun sets over Madagascar
Things play amidst our turmultuous lives
In the eddy currents of our dreams
We echo our desires against stone walls
The realities that surround us
Imaginary titles we chase
Idealistic goals hang before us
Carrots to lead the donkeys
While water rushes through the Congo
Dreamlike states
We exist in and live through
Trying to feel at ease with others
Overlooking the need to feel at ease with ourselves
Triumph and turmoil
Each bombards our senses
Pushes and pulls at our feelings
Riding over personal boundaries and our simple truths
Needing as children do
Consolation and reassurance
We are longing to be held lovingly
While moon beams creep over the Rockies
So too
As we dream and run
Through all the days of our lives
