circle of life in a fish bowl clear lacking clouds of unfrought dreams living a style of unshed tears upheld loosely by scuttled schemes sun shines softly through the open blinds opalescent glows through the glass wall beams distorting visions as the rays unwind and bend their arms in shadow-gleams life lives on in the latent bowl lending its breath to the constant din of drench-dew prints on a pauper's dole removing life-forms-lost of their paltry skin circle of life in a fish bowl clear unseen patterns in the form of a tear |

I had a sense of someone that had mastered a life plan, without any conflict or chaos. Everything neatly passing by, nothing pressing. It is this human warrior spirit, this eternal battle with the head and the heart, that stirs our consciousness and moves us in risk and ritual to victory. Without it, we are complacent and lonely. Tears...a proper energy to wash away the mundane, making room for a river of thoughts and promises. Oh...I was intrigued by this one! |

Very emotive imagery there I like it! Especially appreciate the imagery in the second verse - The last line "and bend their arms in shadow gleams" was especially good. Imagery with enough complexity to make it vivid but not too much too make it hard to comprehend. Thanks for the read - Ben |

Wonderful. Some people fall in love and touch the sky, some people fall in love and find quicksand. |
