'tis beautifully done yet harmfully sung
A warrior in the mist, that is what they say
A poet of poets in a poetic way

Let me take a moment to sit and listen
To sit and stare
To understand, to calculate, unwrap and solve
The ways of life, intricate in its own complexity

I'll find the answer, a key to the lock
With a smile and a wink, I'll toss it into the deep blue sea
And together we'll, watch and see
The journey of journeys to be

We'll catch the air in the jars
We'll light the sun aflame
We'll even sit to watch time go by
Watch it pass,
Ask it why
Must it be oh so fast,
Then giggle at the answer and be on our way

Much to do so little to say
All that hasnt been said will be left for another day

So,
When it comes along, when we have our chance,
We'll take that key.

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Oscar Wilde

this reminds me of catching fireflies at my grandmother's house as a child. You'll find that key.

Lovely write!
