Forward Toward Oblivion

Astounded

We sit or stand

Star found

The water (of life) on fire

Stable like a solid

Table

Of elements

Charted on the wall

Elements

In particles

Rise and fall

Wander on

Through us all

It's a blind science

These physics

In faith

Possibilities are endless

With the option

Open invitation to bliss

At the foot of infinity

This second now is

All there is is now is

All of you, all of me

Everything is one

In this infinity

It all comes back around

Full circle

Fully encompassingly

Astounding

We lose a bit of ourselves

Sometimes

In it all

Let the sacred revelation

Fall

Until we see the reflection

Retrospection

Inspecting, detecting

Future direction

Forward toward oblivion

Taken capture

By the rapture

Held at bay

Staved away

Always waiting for

That perfect day

Today

Is so full

Of all these areas

Of gray

But never let me hear

You say

There's no good to come

From

All this rain

I'm tired of hearing

You complain

Everything rushes

Right down the drain

And it's so lame

You nearly had me thinking

The same

I was trying to play

Your game

Time I roll

My own dice

And think twice

From a different perspective

My own elective

I am a piece of it all

All I know for sure is

It's nothing

But it's coming

Together quite well

I'd like to think

I can tread the water

And breathe the fire

So I won't sink

I'll just keep skating circles

Around this joke of a rink

Might miss it if I blink

I'll sit or stand

I've got big things planned

Just not charted

Or really even started

But this day is new

And my hair is neatly parted

That means anything

Could happen

I could use this cosmic energy

If I could only remember how

To tap in

And run off

The purity

Found with the connection

When you know you're headed

In the right direction
