I feel safe with you
though I can’t see as far
as when alone
besides you
I feel safe with you
though I can’t see as far
as when alone
besides you
You can blow a lot of air
or take it all in
~
either way
this way
make sure you never choke
on the never settling dust
Clouds can be so impressive
even if it is the last one you ever live in
I thought it was a throw away day
but then I unfolded it
I feel my free will
but are the wires I pull
stretching out into the world
attached only to what I think is real
~
is freedom not the joy you can have
of fantasizing the world you live in
being a cluster of stardust that can dream
Yesterday I found a switch
that could be turned up or down or all around
when I turned my head in welcome dispair over forgotten choices
I saw in the corner
this dirty old panel with lights and red buttons
symbols I recognize from the day’s before life
seems to have started
staring at it I remember slowly my little fingers hovering over these buttons
feeling for a choice
Sometimes you come across a switch
in life
one you don’t know what it does
and still you get the urge to turn
it up or down
which ever way feels good
I see the timer rests on zero
I forgot
do i still have to set it
or did it just go of
Heraclitus said 2500 years ago that things are always changing and opposites are…well, not really opposites from each other. Philosophers through the ages have always been good in coming up with the phrases that encapsulate there philosophy, they think they are really clever but the layman will not understand the full depth and others philosophers think they do.
That things are always changing sound pretty obvious and even if you never philosophies about life, it would not be hard to understand this idea. One of his own examples that he seems2 to give is that of a river that is never the same river. It is not only the water that flows through the river that changes constantly but even the simple act of you standing in the river and leaving footprints when you leave is a change. But why would you care about this simply example, your life will not become any better when you know this you might think and you might be right. Maybe you only need to know the things that you think you know, and dismiss the rest.
