Here, Now, Forever

hey guys, i havent been here in a while but i was sitting in class reading E.E. Cummings, and I stumbled upon a great inspiration. I hope you like it.. here goes nothing:

Plummin' tha Reason to Live

Bing dangle trickle,
Sing so whun not,
Tefla suprema,
Sinclare redot,

Simbilin sin bad,
Limple lick laff,
Seedy son sin muff,
Ren deedy rowbaff,

Jim-jim balimsim,
Selly whanowe,
Lingin a lingin a,
tella remow,

Waliddy ba city,
Sawhitty 'E' div,
Hembling humbucking,
Reason to live.

Scoot me a bingla,
Share out a lum,
Hoddle and toddle,
and throw out the plum.

Shembra romeesie,
Feed me seemor,
Da lady in red,
Shalim Maguh poor,

Maguh O Maguh,
O little Maguh,
So rimply pimply,
Simply Maguh.

Rough times a weesie,
A weesie times rough,
Shembra romeesie,
Hed life aint that tuff,

Ling dinga ling long,
Longa ling ding,
Sing a ling, Ding a ling,
Longa to sing,

Meet me a reefa,
A reefa so plum,
Hembling humbucking,
Reason to love.

Ding donga bong gong,
Longa to live,
Semblance, Semblance,
Remblance wiv.

Livevil racecar,
Racing to live,
To meet me a reefa,
Semblance wiv.

Forever yo dimbla,
Shimbla quim,
So dim a la shim a la,
Whim a la whim,

Why chim et Brute?
So longa gow,
Sticks in the dark waving,
Shim too and fro,

The lights left behind,
Train tracks a no train,
No tracks a no forests,
Or trails to remain.

Dark is tha hallway,
Da kis jumpa round,
Noises reveba so wunful a sound.

Kiss me hun' darlin'
Hummin da glow,
Dummin dose bresses,
For me you to show,

Limple a lankle,
Lankle me too,
Rippin a stankle,
So eggy and true,

Mesige en here,
Young feeble one,
So grande y clea,
So you are the one.

Dumb limpa sticka,
No play en a cave,
No water so tricka,
Warm, pulsing, and brave.

Hemlock forlorn,
The crests of forever,
The king yet unborn,
The heat of the nether.

Tha untested soul,
Da won hoo no try,
No try a you too,
So liva a why?

What is this life for?
Why are we all here?
Take your shot, Jacob,
And finish that beer.

Starla es tha name,
Muse I am same,
So shame a la lame,
This fun lil' game.

No yes a no yes,
Si a no se,
Why a mere tinga,
When easels a way?

So menna a dem,
Dose fine little stars,
Too mucha infinty,
Eternal span far,

Time and space past,
Way past ah my friend,
So farra way farra way,
Starra way end.

No proba to me,
Das fine and hum,
Bucking and humbling,
Reason to live.

De whey it is,
O muck it will be,
No matta to dem,
No one a dey see.

The trails so unending,
The earth has left me,
Assimalabimala,
Wont set me free.

Ah Cummings O Cummings,
Da Cummings of age,
Redressed in the miracles,
Of briarwood sage.

Why en a no sir?
I dont know the way.
I'm just a lost soul, sir,
I'll just be on my way.

So winna time comes?
No tima there is.
No sucha thing, sir.
Just reason to live.


O powerful western fallen star!
O shades of night- O moody, tearful night!
O great star disappear'd- O the black murk that hides the star!
O cruel

haha yes we need bongos... many of them

I always seem to go about pitying myself; and all the while I'm being carried upon the grace of great winds.
