Gaze of Reverie
Grass meadow vast as a sea
Stretches almost to infinity
Trees like islands on that sea
Flowers are there full of beauty
Yet smell is sobering air is dense
Sometimes looking at it one feels tense
Putting in heart eerie sense
Like immersing in too deep can have dire consequence
You feel something touch your leg
Is it something scary no its just board from old keg
You breathe with relief
But the relief is brief
Towards horizon is nothing but the sky
And you realize one day you will die
Nothing is hidden in the grass
It’s just an extending mass
And that is where your problem is
There is nothing of value in this vast abyss
They say after death good people will have bliss
But you don’t know how much truth there is in this
You almost see
Air taking shape above grass sea
Maybe there is something there only soul can see
No forget it its only sky stretching for infinity
Yet it is a place that is eerie and vast
You start to think about future and past
You know one day before master of it all stand you must
Will there be light or will only shadow on your soul cast
Dust to dust is that all that is
Or is there really soul and divine bliss
And you wonder what takes place of death
In life after death
Is it possible many times to die
And every time go deeper to the sky
And where do answers to questions like meaning of life lay
Some say you know it all right before you die
Grass looks supernatural in light of the moon
But there is nothing there that wasn’t this afternoon
Yet grasshoppers sing lively not melancholic tune
And you wonder is there light on the dark side of the moon
