Essence of Existence

By VagrantGypsy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Things are so complicatedCan't use words to unwind them whenLifes this tangled mysteryContained within shattered relationshipsThe peach fuzz of the sun Can't reach everyone so It's up to us to crawl out and taste itCan you taste it?Seems so unreachableDoesn't it?To sip the goodness of life whenAll you can see are shadows cast by the moonI need to show you so much justDon't know how it could be possible for me toShow you the hope of a rising sunDon't focus too much on The dark spots of the moonWe have the whole night and The birth of a new day is almost hereMaybe now you'll see the balanceMaybe now you'll understand thatThe moon's shadows will always Drip the questions of life butThe sun smells fresh of new promisesThis is the essence of existanceI have foundWe are so young and today is ripeLets lay in the grass under the sky andSpeak only of the sunWe have the entire night to talk of other things Written August 16th, 2001 © on Sep 09 2001 08:11 AM PST   18 • 0 • 10
