To think of the day
To sit and wonder
All the possiblities of the hour
Someones tragic hour
Of playful, sinful hours
To ask the day
If absoluetly anything is occuring
At this fine hour
Nothing as we know it
Is occuring

To measure time's demensions
Time the unmeasurable
Containing everything
And nothing as we know it
Observing him on the old grandfather
To pull back time's hands
And replay life in a single hand
Midnight and death
The one never experienced

To sit and observe life
Lives whittled by
People walking by
Within the birds eye
Do you remember individuals?
Random Individuals?
And do they remember you?
And would you like them too?
The devil was an angel's spirit
And the dead mans mind

To admire nature
And to sit and wonder
Where is it all going?
And nowhere is the answer
The answer is everywhere
Anywhere is the answer
Life in the trees
Now reached in the skies
Broken skies in the pelicans eye
All in a single atmosphere?

To ask for permission
And someone elses opinion
The single-minded individual
Of single-minded persons
Of the close-minded world
What will they say?
How will they say it?
Who holds the truth?
Of truth being false
Being indifferent in various ways
Obtaining the unobtainable status
Is to be complete
Something never being complete
Life

To be influenced
By the media spectrum
And other spectrums of temptation
Of nudity and nature
Of nature never living
The living of the dead
Inspiration in other forms
Outside of the hands of
Today

To look from the outside
From the outside of the hour glass
From the inside of the stained glass
To realize the truth
And only the truth as we know it
Never actually knowing the truth
And only assuming
Assuming life
Assuming death
Assuming all of the rest
And to hope what is assumed
Is to be the truth
Only to realize
One can not find truth
The truth finds you
In your darkest hour
Of ones finest hour
Of life, liberty, and the shortest hour
To observe from a blank slate
An outward look for today
