STORY

An epic poem about every aspect of life, that tells the story of a guy and a girl who meet, and spend the day in the park.  It’s as deep as your imagination, true as life itself, and if you’ve only read it once, you must ask what has kept you away from the world of STORY…Have you ever dreamt while you were awake?

A stagnant world in transition you live in

as started this very day

no matter where you are or where you live

no matter how much you have

or even how much you give

pleasant welcomes in every way

with new responsibility

soon dawn the new day

Bless me with one more moment

After I’ve run out of mine

And in it I’ll spend a thousand years

Redefining appreciation with the happiest of tears

And will know the true value of time

You know why you’re here

Don’t you

To experience life

To hold it

To analyze and mold it

To make every day like a special saved letter

And take care as you unfold it

Do you remember that day

That you stayed home

So many years ago

Just to watch the rain come down

Not on your face a smile or frown

Or awe

But the plainest look I ever saw

As you looked out at the old gray sky

And wondered how far it was

Burn

into our memories

Oh great one that once shined

Down upon our heads today

The slow few I remind

That day

Will soon turn into unfelt night

Can’t hinder astral forces

And can’t put up a fight

For sun’s time has passed once more

As orange rays speak out

From far behind those distant hills

Whose backs they now make bright

Remember me, I’m beautiful

She says in a fading voice

Providing all with life

And now departing to another world

…Once taken for granted

With hand held high and finger twirled

What an exit does she make?

Those drivers blinded by the view

To each his own mistake

She says

For where you’re headed, I won’t be

And you won’t say goodbye to me

“The sunset is so wondrous, so natural, so perfect…it really gives you a feeling of depth”

Describe what’s perfect if you can

Not easy like it seams

For once you start

Go on and on

From peaceful dream to waking dawn

Seek perfection…

But create it you cannot

Nor hold onto a dream

For fools reach out from under sheets

When time and space play games, who cheats?

Not I

And not I, myself

Out of a single moment

Which again will never be

Because it’s not perfect to me

With both eyes closed to what life shows me

Not I

This sight you’ll never see

As you read between the lines

Searching for the one that’s straight

Will lead you to horizon

The line that you just love to hate

You dreamer

It’s the only border you’ll never pass

As if a giant gate

The desire to cross shall radiate

From the other side to here

And those poor fool over there

Just stand around and stare

Wishing they were here

Right this very spot we’re standing

Imagining shooting stars landing

As they might as well be over there

No reason I would really care

Holding dear, to me what’s near

Hidden all too well

From the want that makes you cold

The one you’ll never hold

It just melts right in your fingers

And into another land

But in that very instant

You tried to reach the sky

A million things each at arms length

Have forever passed you by

Forever passed you by

Now tell me who’s the fool

You…me…all who we see

Well it depends if you ask me

On what comes next

And which brick path you take

To end up where you’ll be

And your own bed you will make

Just like your destiny
