the greatest wonder of the world
arose today from the eastern mists
and i smiled despite my loneliness
nothing so beautiful will ever be conceived



these days are so different
so different from all the others
i always mistake difference
with opportunity

this day caters emotion
this sensation we’re feeling
the same one we felt at birth
we were born for these days

so let’s break glass
and trample grass
to grant ourselves that joy
that we felt so long before


you were with me that day
burying our souls into the Earth
screening our secrets and promises
perhaps we were foolish
but we were lovers

those blinking lights surrounded us
but we never noticed detail

those sunrays bathing our bodies

but we never noticed detail

but what an odd feeling
for those who awaken
to find that they never were



our bodies warmed each other’s
your shape molding
over my body’s landscape

and when you call my name
the earth trembles in response
and every heavenly creature
stop to remark how beautiful
the day has been


the colors we’ve seen
the foods we’ve tasted
the seasons we’ve lived
the structures we’ve built
cannot compare to where i’m going to take you now

you must understand how it works
to understand why you need it


and when you look for me
on such a beautiful day
the trees will sway in waves
and the sun will hide with me
and i will continue to inspire

you will lose sight of me
i could just disappear

but i’ll always be in the stars
i’ll be gravity affecting your orbit
i will lead you like no other has
you will listen like no other will
why do you look upon the world
as if it is a natural disaster


let’s continue these thoughts
that nothing will ever happen
unless we create it
unless we destroy it
why does the world look upon you
as if you are the cause of it’s suffering


my body is your tool

whose work unites the people

and raises foundation from below


my soul is your entrance
the halls lined with the same diamonds and pearls
you’ve lived your life pursuing

my words are your words
circling and divulging and warping
beware
for words create empires
words destruct egos



humanity will greet my departure
with black tears and black dresses
the same black tears they shed
when i was born
the same black dress they wore
when i was born


 
there are two voices
they boast big ideas
while each sits upon
an opposing shoulder

it’s hard to hear their voices
when your voice so softly
pours into my ears
pours into my soul

the two voices vacation
for an eternal duration
and your voice is all that i hear
the world never shined
until you brought it light


i’m the man who’s here for you

i’m the man who’s made you happy


when you wallow in the mud
when you float towards the light
when you submerge your body
when you create babies in your womb
when you laugh and sing your beauty
when you share secrets with lovers

you asked about love
i showed you a picture
of colors and Beatles
and babies and Lisbon
and islands and lions

i asked about love
you wrapped your arms
around the world
and
around me


suddenly the oceans clash
war sustains among the east
while families starve together
and parents can only do so little
and the children starve together
that’s when we’ll realize
how wrong we really are

pity
anger
that’s all i’ll feel for them


why do you question my love
as if i have strayed from your side
why do you raise your voice
as if i have done you wrong

reality isn’t meant to be dreamt

so i’m going to stop pretending

but sleeping is so easier said

than anything i’ve ever done



we dont care for entities
we dont rely on miracles
we dont dictate your future
we dont care for your beliefs
we dont disown our citizens

you have fifty thousand questions
i have one answer
i have one question
you have no answer



we could save it all
trees and music
numbers and roses
maybe we could go back
to that day we had those feelings

you shut off my lights
took out the floor from my feet
there was no moon to guide me

it’s a shame that
out of the infinite amount of years
that have and will come to pass
we only live for seventy of them


look upon your
brothers and sisters
let them know who we are
and why we are who we are
