Looks like
it’s going to be
Another rainy days dream…
A chance to break free
…from the freeze
Enveloping my thoughts...
Elevate my mood
…and let my spirit
Catch wind
…and fill my will+to+be
With more than
...the usual effort to refrain
From more reruns
...of the blues songs
Stuck, in the echoes
...of my throbbing brain...
And I, caught up…
In the vortex …of the daily news…
Instagram shares…
Or my friends on facebooks
…political views…
So… as I take a deep breath
Pause…
…of the silence between
My dreams of what its like
Being the new life …of the party
In the hereafter…
As the last echoes of
My last breath…
Reverberate through the closing chapter
Of my come+to …past+life…
And the point of …getting over it, all…
Cause whatever I thought was …so important
...at the moment…
Is henceforth, forever …lost…
…and the river of souls
Now, I must cross…
Soon …to be filled, instead…
With thoughts of meeting …my new boss…
The master of creation…
And those who I thought, I knew …in life…
Who were sent…
To try …and…
Save me from myself
Chip in to pay my rent …in heaven…
From the allowance, which is given…
From the gestures of good+will…
From your thoughts, restored…
Minus the evil deeds …which we’ve ignored…
To others …falling beneath …the sword
…thought, you …really, got away?
So, now… really…
Was this just a dream…
Have you really …made up your mind…
Or will you, roll up your sleeves, pitch in
And …take one …for the team…
Or will you be like me…
Save some …for that …last dance…
Call another moment of reflection
From the shelf…
In the last prayers …call…
Before …it’s all over…
And the grim reaper, says…
Another, lost soul…
Ready to roll…
After, the clock …strikes thirteen
And you find…
Life
…was just a crazy ole’ dream…
Like a puff of smoke…
And then it’s gone
Time to move on…
Tired of feeling sorry for myself
Time to reach for new understandings
From where I stand …who I am…
Of where I’ve been
Where I am going…
Not just dust in the winds…
No longer …time…
For planning new futures …to take hold…
And the devil …cashes in those chips
As many times
As you may have sold your soul…
You’ll find…
That electric blanket …you used to own
Doesn’t work …in the hereafter…
MapQuest…
Doesn’t get you to heaven…
…and you really can’t use
Cheat codes…
For celestial navigation
…finding love…
