The Unseen Innocence of Earth
Location
Lyrics traveling through ears into and open mind
Words easily defined
Sitting beneath the stars
The only sounds to be heard
A boat creaking and crickets chirping in harmony
A simple moment only to be cherished by me
The common human eye - Open, yet blind
To the Earth's rotation and the happiness found in the simplicity of life
True joy I seek through others
Speaking in their weakest moment and seeing into an unimaginably beautiful soul
Watching a person slowly lose control
Sneaking into the brain hidden under blonde hair that pretends not to care
Traveling across a map without destination
The mission to find myself
Continually trying new gadgets, gizmos, and devices
In search of a concealed talent, but my view is blocked by vices
A place tended to be wonderful
Personailty blooming as we age
Growing Unmanageably
But, it's not the roses I see
The thorns grow thick and sharp
Obstructing the sight of deep red petals
Satisfaction no longer found in reality
Prefering to live in fantasy
An escape found in the depth of my head
The world I existent in
Even as I lay in bed
Walking through life with squinted eyes
Peering between lashes
Creating a world with a blurred edge
Allowing me to see what I'd like to be
Painting the blur into a cup of sunshine
I wish to throw away conformity
Why be what society declares acceptable
A dream of spending my day
Feeling a blade of grass between naked toes
Wondering where the shadow casted by a palm tree goes after dark
I will never experienece such an effortless day
The Earth's inhaitants yelling, "You have bills to pay"
I'll continue to plan for college and a job
A day too far away to fathom
My savings will be full and retirement will be flowing in
Like the waterfall I desired to sit by years ago
& I'll think to myself.. or possibly decl are with joy
I now may rest and do as I please
The college classes produced a life of ease
