The world is far away and very small,
forever fills my eyes with little visions,
the strangeness of it all creates illusions,
of those that were once big and now are small.
We drift, we float, we swim when high tide conquers
the million grains of sand that plague our shores,
and then we rest, we drink, we smoke, we chase the thunder,
while Earth finds new beginnings, and humble souls do soar…
We all want more of those bright rays of light…
We all want more of that sweet taste of honey…
We all want more caresses, kisses, hugs…
We all want one more day, clean, bright and sunny…
We strive to be like those that pray and listen,
and learn,
and find true wisdom,
and then, when pure of heart and free from all our chains,
we find the way that God laid out for us to follow,
we’ll leave behind this small, flat world and drift so free above the deep dark hollow.

Loved this change of perspective. Lyrical and smooth. Just enough rhyme and rhythm to make it resonate. Well written, my friend!

The way that God laid out is there for all too follow. Sadly, most turn elsewhere.
