It seems so very far away to me now A distant speck among many, glinting on the horizon It's just a tiny little light,but was once bright lightening Strange and yet miraculous--how things change How time touches things, each differently And despite what is said, there are no rules... It's never the same twice So you can never really, truly go back Because nothing will be as it was, or as it's remembered And everyone remembers things differently, anyway So who's to say what was real, once upon a time? For eyes see things not so much with sight as the heart Yet, what if the heart is closed? Ah, then it is the sighted who see nothing And perhaps the blind who see everything and all... To one, a situation may be about lust To the other, it may be about love I suppose it all comes down to intention, or motivation For lust looks upon love with different vision Then if love where to look upon lust And so the world gets caught and turned around In the eyes, in the gaze of another... Seek what you may, seek what you will Just be sure that you truly want to know For what you find before you, called truth May not be quite what you had in mind Just be aware, but don't be wary... I cry and smile at the same time A balance of joy and pain But it isn't these tears to be counted It is the rainbows that come after the rain... |
