Place your feet and ripple out into the universe,
Crafting new waves through space which disperse…
Reverberations of existence, and worlds beyond,
The span of human thought and vision.
Utter in mere mortal words…in your tongues, resonate;
Through the endless ocean which time creates.
Drift distantly…afar from transient flesh and bone.
Pervade and imprint thoughts into life.

I walk away from yesterday,
With hope upon my back;
It weighs me down as I make my way,
Toward a future, and there is no turning back.
What if I can not take the weight,
Of what will and won’t be?
Will the journey be worth the fate,
That the choices made, will cultivate for me?
I know not where this path will lead,
Nor how to grasp each day.
All I know is it’s best to concede,
Then stand in place, never moving either way.
I walk away from yesterday,
With hope upon my back;
It weighs me down as I make my way,
Toward a future, and there is no turning back.

“I’m neither hope nor misery”, he looked at me and said.
“I’m a human, so why do you look for Gods instead?”
“I could tell you of hope beyond which words describe,
Or tell you of the misery which bloody tears inscribe.”
“I’m neither good, nor am I bad”, he looked at me and said.
“I’m but a human being made of both a heart and head.”
“So why place me up high or low, in heav’n or hell?”
“For as far as I can tell from here, Earth fits us quite well.”

I am an illusion.
What’s seen is not real.
I’m simply a construct,
Of what you think and feel.
I am an illusion,
Of hope and consequence,
Blowing through the universe;
In the absence.
I am an illusion,
Which wishes to be more;
Ever searching for substance,
Where it’s ne’er been found before.
I am an illusion.
Blink and then move on.
I was never really here at all.
Like time, I’m both here…and gone.

At first the world didn’t see me,
Then when it finally did.
It shuttered up it’s eyes…
“Lies. Lies. Lies. Lies.”
At first I had no voice at all,
Then when I did, and spoke,
Every ear was covered…
“Sing, bird. Sing, bird.”
At first I thought the world might change,
Then one day I realized.
Change lies in wait within…
“How strange! How strange!”.
