in a time where meaning is made up of meanings
really the only meaning is love and that is no disgrace
but if we were a mere trace
like a variation in pitch
without confused identity
where fire is a dream
subtle and slightly secret
could you tell a cloud it is crazy for wanting to go
in this body of the lotus
it is like
asking a flower where it wants to grow
and dreaming
it is as if we are substance in the dust
while we wait for a gust
with strings attached
we are intricate in a sea of captivity
we yearn for the ring of a bell
foreign to us
inside of a shell
as if in blue
bound by the finest strands
of lost dreams and hopes
the words pause
and waver
among the shadows
living lost
freedom never found
remember the taste
free of binds
those that keep the sands of time
in another place
all hidden in the memories of love
