Time

All we have is time

and what comes down the line.

Don’t ever think it’s more complex than this.

 

Though the universe - it has no end,

and there is more than one my friend,

too many to be counted. Get the drift?

 

For we live in eternity,

each day a fiber in a string

that goes on for forever in both ways.

 

So use the only thing you have -

your choices, for t...

Singularity

Seconds tick as years go by,

both the same to me.

Time and space be mere illusions...

nothing’s as it seems.

  

Like the wind, we’re drifting on

through endless spiral dreams.

Every sense be our delusion...

nothing’s as it seems.

  

As a lad I’d sit and wonder

how it came to be.

Found they keep truth asunder...

nothing’s as it seems.

Things I could tell that you’d never believe.

Things that I’ve seen that are too far to see.

 

Things that I’ve heard that are not made of sound.

Things that I know which have never been found.

 

Things that could change the world. Things that could heal.

Things that would ter...

Blind

Blind keepers,

mind readers,

throw them in the pod. 

Make them think they have a way

to see through all the fog. 

 

Let them start with nothing,

they’ll grow up and think they’ve won. 

Set the stage so from the play 

they’ll add things one by one.

 

They’ll come up with conclusions

thinking they’ve figured it out,

and all the while just watch them

cuz that...

Between Mind And Eyes

How vast is the reach of the universe wide?

How great be the distance between mind and eyes?

How far in both ways does the length of time go?

What distance exists between God and each soul?

 

Illusive the answer to each of these be.

Perspective controls how we think, what we see,

how we judge and interpret the concepts at hand,

the things we consider and just where we stand...
