a species sailing into space

"With a thousand lies and a good disguise / Hit 'em right between the eyes, hit 'em right between the eyes."

-Offspring, You're Gonna Go Far Kid 

life is in no rush

for all that it does touch

is forever lush

for life recycles itself 'ever much

pieces and parts

of the greatest of all of the arts

a species sailing into space

homo sapiens, star-faring race

for is there another plan?

than to expand and expand

and give us all room

to grow and bloom

have faith everyone

 "now here you go again, you said 'you want your freedom'" -Dreams, Fleetwood Mac

when the wandering is done

to rest under the sun

what will remain

to revisit but this refrain

who knows what's to come

and what will be done

have faith everyone

our story has only begun

for one single dream

did form; from over an eon,

many different answers

for life to spread and savor

and yes, so many deficiencies

 "like a heart beat, drives you mad..." -Dreams, Fleetwood Mac

traditions must end

it is not a sin

to part from an old road

and take a way that is bold

we grow through dilemmas

they only scar like henna

and yes, so many deficiencies 

grow so many like weeds

remember to just breathe

count them one two three

life continues eternally

love always wins effortlessly 

will we ever be saited?

 "I have only come here seeking knowledge" -Wrapped Around Your Finger, The Police

the heat does descend

will it never end

a lonely beauty

forever on a journey

desire does push us on

chase it ever and ever anon

will we ever be saited?

with all that we are baited

so much life to live

forever we give and give

in the name of knowledge

"things they would not teach of in college" (above)

Or Trip Over Want

 "another fortnite lost in America" -Fortnite, Taylor Swift

so swiftly it becomes a burning

the pull that is yearning

a desire fiercely kindled

all logic cast down and defeated

might as well deny the moon

then say you do not swoon

or trip over want

still, our hearts are not

to the simple glorious end

that life goes on again and again

that love will always win

forever and ever amen

take some time to look around

 "You had your qualms!?!" -Patricia, Widows Bay

An Ode

through the fog they come creeping

our nightmares given hearts a'beating

to feast on our fears they come

but only a few will be undone

dont forget to grab a coffee as you go

the pace here is kind of slow

take some time to look around

dont pay any attention to that clown

this house of horrors is ours to tend

in a world where hunger ne'er ends

where our fears do survive

so that we can thrive 

of fates divine design

 "and how could anybody deny you?" -Coldplay

all roads lead to pain

there is no refrain

from the unending plight

of the dying of the light

deny it all you want

but none of us are a confidante

of fates divine design

no matter what one may opine

we try to know so much

about what little we have touched

the universe doesn't care

what plans we dare
