Determined not to believe
Every truth I see a false, tinted reality
Struggle to see beyond the box
Strain past the limits set by the popular
Lament in the bonds
Made in our own minds

Bestowed upon me a filter
A conscious amount of wisdom
Free flowing through these veins
Simple and plain
To be given such a privilege
A friendly companion
Amongst these thoughts of mine

To know of the simplicity
Of a night time sky
A cool sweeping breeze,
The stars just within my reach
Solace in a boundless field
Blades of wild grass so tall

Reverence for the earth beneath my hands
Simple pleasures timelessly waiting
Just to know wonder is a triumph
Curiosity feeds desire
And love exists
As a burning ember
Delight in living, even for one gasp of air

Trust in life
Everything terrifying, enchanting
Taking shape an eternal muse
A song, a rhyme, a simple lyric
An unspoken current
A rythym forever to feel and hear

Revel in the belief
Intended for beauty is life's pattern
A series of moments
Collected and combined
Make the golden thread
That is entwined into the weave
Creating a larger design

So no sorrow
I feel or speak
Hope is my faith
This paradox we face
Is more than irony
Amazement and awe
Weapons for us to use
