The Look On That Person’s Face

Mon, 12/01/2014 - 01:47 -- perks

Though the winds blow

Though the trees sway

Though the sun sets

And though the sun rises

In this world of certainties and expectations

I am but no one I know

 

The stars have their place upon the galaxy

The sun has its place in the center

This earth spins with its purpose

But I am no one I know

 

I have ventured and I have encountered

Although young and naive 

This world is not new to me

No longer is this place a place of creativity 

But a place of despise

But I am done with cynicism

I seek to be more wise

 

I cannot think of a bigger place to be

Than this earth has provided

I will not be imprisoned by the holds of my doubts

I am free to be free

 

The horizons are endless

The moments are few

Yet I am still no one I know 

 

Instead I choose to be 

A purpose on this earth

As the sun rolls and the stars burn

As the earth lives fearlessly with its roaring waves

I will be no one I know

 

There’s this place on the face of this planet

On which I have spoken

And all I remember is

The Look On That Person’s Face

I will be no one I know

I will be no one I know
