    I spend my nights awake and
    my day times sleeping...
    Everything here is as it was before


    \Listen/

    I have seen a new sky and a new earth
    I have walked with my teeth
    And eaten with my feet
    There is no recollection of all the between

    I feel a sacredmiserableincredibledepressing love
    For everything that grows, everything that lives
    everything I see...

    I hear your voice, although spoken a lifetime ago,
    “There are only two ways to describe the world-
    Sad and Beautiful”

    In the midst of this paradox lies the truth
    It takes such patience to find love
    For I must let my cries lead me there

    Life is built on paradox and now and then we find a place that's peaceful and makes perfect sense. I liked the visionary stuff earlier in the piece. Maybe in the end our second soul will save us.

    This one was wonderfully contemplative, and I especially liked the last few stanza's. Do you perhaps think that "sad and beautiful" should be changed to "sad or beautiful" ? I keep wanting to read it that way but I can see why it should stay the way it is.... :sunglasse
