How can I perceive
everything around me
when nothing is real anymore?
Questions are the sea
waves crash around me
and we are the whales that are washed ashore.
Now easy pickings
screaming and kicking
dragged away by the beasts.
We must go willing
insides twisting and spilling
when we let go we are released.
We are now the trees
winds dance through our leaves
seasons shaping the way we grow
but every single eve
our bounty's stolen by thieves
these are trials we must undergo.
Taking and giving
is the cost of living
but there is one thing you cannot steal
one thing you're entitled:
knowledge unbridled
don't allow anyone to take your zeal.
