Poem
They say it starts in childhood some even say the womb Like a scene from Elm Streets Nightmare or some dark unearthly tomb The tide of time can turn on you when you swim against the flow Or the Labyrinth of Life can lead us where we want to go Let’s unveil the hidden meanings let’s reveal your inner child The Tapestry of life perceived in truth can drive you wild It’s so tightly spun together it may part at any time And the only logic saving you lies screaming in your mind Try a touch of meditation, or a book does it for me Let’s take a peek inside your head let’s see what we can see A learned minds opinion is the topic of the toast But for me we laugh the loudest when we tend to hurt the most The madness that surrounds us is most times hard to fathom The Universal truths revealed are hidden in each atom For beyond each new horizon we’re guided by Gods hand In the quantum physicality within each grain of sand I’ve watched you paint a picture of who you choose to be The ink remains undried on all the copies you gave me The palette’s within reach of your cold fingers like a ghost And I hear you laughing loudest when you tend to hurt the most We overwhelm our conscious thought subliminally ostracize We struggle with the answers and so often over analyse Simplicity’s the key to life go find your hidden doorway Spare the time for your own thoughts and learn to do it your way It’s good to talk you hear them say but they tend to twist each word Our secrets are our own we feel ‘til we free them like a bird For dreams to fly they need both wings untethered from their post And I long to hear you laugh so loud and no longer hurt the most
