Poem
I once found a rip just along my reality I climbed in its hole escaping is my speciality Inside I met an owl who smiled with a frown He said you'll never go up if you're always looking down He hummed a song that held no rhythm or rhyme About a world that grew tired of the concept of time He looked up at the sun and said the moon was his wife And painted a story about the river that he called life That you'll only know the ground if you've never seen the sky. And you'll only know life if you never have to die The real things you only see when you close your eyes And there'd be no such thing as hello if we never said goodbye That there are only shadows because we have light No matter how many days there will always be a night He held a mirror but said the reflection went away That sometimes he's glad or maybe sad but words don't always mean what they say In his other hand he held what to be an endless maze He said it's for the man who loves to run in place Our personalities are just barriers we've all built inside Were really just one person but that one person always tries to hide He said were all interconnected by just a single being And everything we see Will never be as what it seems He said there's more to the idea but there is a thing called sin and that path is paved with more than one good intention No matter how much you learn you will never ever know You must experience it yourself and always reap what you sow Live in the question because the answers will never end We live on forever but our bodies are just dust in the wind I had just one question I asked if he was god He told me no but he said so with a nod
